§ Mr. BUCHANANasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that, after a person has been granted benefit by a rota committee, it is a practice for them in certain cases to be reviewed by another rota committee, which may overturn the decision of the first committee; and if he will take steps to put an end to this practice?
§ Mr. BETTERTONRota committees do not grant benefit; they may recommend it and their recommendations are498W usually adopted. For a number of reasons, re-hearings are sometimes necessary and take place before a rota which frequently consists of different individuals from those who constituted the rota which first heard the case. I do not think this arrangement is avoidable, or indeed open to any serious objection.
