§ 59. Mr. GRIFFITHSasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that a member of the local employment committee for Gloucester, who is also vice-chairman of the court of referees, is the solicitor usually employed in prosecutions initiated by the Department; and whether he will consider the advisability of withdrawing this gentleman from the employment committee and the court of referees or, alternatively, employing some other person in the capacity of prosecuting solicitor?
§ Mr. BETTERTONI am not at present clear that the functions described in the question are necessarily incompatible one with another, but I am looking into the matter further and will let the hon. Member know the result.
