I surmise that "industry" would have been worried about losing cheap labour - which sets off the war between profits and prices.
As I see it, "industry" will have to seek a UK workforce and their bottom line need will drive that as the Guvmin exercises levers in that direction. Inflation will move around till everything is adjusted and things return to normal. None of this can be done overnight.

As I see it those businesses will close, the public won't support higher prices to pay these wages when there's a cheaper foreign option, £30 an hour for picking broccoli and we still won't do it and I disagree with you and David "thick as mince" Davis about what industry would and wouldn't have known, I remember them begging for advice and being left to fend for themselves
