Labour pledges to reinstate Agricultural Wages Board

Jeremy Corbyn to announce policy that aims to raise rural workers' living standards in areas of high inequality

Labour has pledged to improve the pay and conditions of rural workers in England by reinstating the Agricultural Wages Board, which was abolished five years ago.

Jeremy Corbyn will announce the policy on Sunday at the annual Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival in Dorset, which commemorates the history of trade unionism and agricultural workers' struggle for fair pay.
