§ 31. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Attorney-General whether he is now able to give the costs of the National Industrial Relations Court since the stated date when it commenced its activities under the National Industrial Relations Act.
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Peter Rawlinson)I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner) on 4th July.—[Vol. 840, c.99.]
§ Mr. LewisThat does not give us any information at all. Surely the Attorney-General can give us some information? When he does publish the details, which are readily available, will the figures include the costs of the Official Solicitor's intervention?
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe hon. Gentleman has obviously not looked at the answer that I gave, which sets out the total cost involved in the setting up and running of the National Industrial Relations Court.
