CLAUSE 45.— (Decision of disputes.) (Hansard, 21 April 1947)

§ Mr. Buchanan

I beg to move, in page 40, line 31, at the end, to insert: who shall, whether either party to the dispute so requests, cause an inquiry to be held unless he as satisfied that, in the special circumstances of the case, an inquiry is unnecessary. This Amendment arises from a promise given in Committee to the right hon. Gentleman, that if an inquiry were conducted it should be conducted under the procedure outlined in the Tenth Schedule. I ought in fairness to add that we have the usual safeguard against any appeals that may be considered frivolous, but apart from that, perhaps have the right given under the procedure outlined in the Tenth Schedule.
