So what your saying is that the government will introduce the different scales by not increasing the wage yearly in certain areas untill the required difference is met ?.If that's the case i wouldn't trust the government with doing that correctly .It would be far too easy to massage cost of living figures for each area or simply making the usual balls up and just getting it wrong ,leaving people in a position where they would be in trouble because the cost of living in their area has risen above wage levels .A system like that would require regional inflation figures would it not ?

In other words we are going to get done over by a government who believes civilisation only extends as far as Watford.
