HC Deb 19 December 1916 vol 88 cc1309-10
83. Mr. WARDLE

asked the Prime Minister what has been decided with regard to the composition and constitution of the Standing Arbitration Tribunal to deal with questions arising between the Government and its civil employés?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The terms of reference for the Standing Arbitration Tribunal to be established for the settlement during the War of claims for increased remuneration for Civil employés of the Government are now being settled, and it is hoped that it may be possible to announce the names of the members of the tribunal at an early date.

Mr. WARDLE

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what the constitution of the tribunal will be?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I would rather my hon. Friend would wait until I am able to make a full announcement.
