HC Deb 10 July 1918 vol 108 cc305-6
81. Mr. A. RICHARDSON

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether the existing Regulations issued to tribunals can be amended so as to give to a man appealing to an Appeal Tribunal against his grading the right to be professionally represented?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Hayes Fisher)

It rests with the Appeal Tribunal whether to allow or not to allow legal representation in these cases, which, as my hon. and learned Friend knows, differ much from ordinary applications for exemption. I have not at present received evidence which shows that a change in the existing practice is necessary.
