London - Indian masons brought to London to work on a Hindu temple have won £110,000 compensation after being paid a fraction of the minimum wage for more than a year, their spokesman said yesterday. The 11 skilled stonemasons from Rajasthan came to Britain to work on the largest temple complex in the Western world in Wembley, North London. While in India, they signed contracts entitling them to the equivalent of 30p an hour, with a promise of free board and lodging.
Mr Arvind Ladwa, a visitor to the Shri Sanatan temple complex, took their case against Shrico Ltd to the Inland Revenue and the Overseas Labour Service.
