HC Deb 12 July 1910 vol 19 cc188-9
Mr. KEIR HARDIE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that the allowance for railway fares and expenses made to representatives of employers on trade boards is on a higher scale than that allowed to representatives of workers; whether this differentiation is in conformity with the usual practice of the Department, as illustrated by the allowance to representatives of workers and employers on the panels of the arbitration courts; and what action he proposes to take in the matter?

Mr. BUXTON

The question of the allowances to representative members of trade boards is now under consideration.
