§ Mr. STEPHENasked the Minister of Labour if she will consider making a Regulation for the sitting of Courts of Referees that, where the court is not 2405W fully constituted, the applicant whose claim has been refused shall have the right of a further appeal to a fully-constituted court for reconsideration of his claim?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI have no power to make a Regulation to this effect. As my hon. Friend is aware, a claim cannot be decided by a court which is not fully constituted unless the claimant consents.
§ Mr. STEPHENasked the Minister of Labour the number of appeals to the umpire against decisions of Courts of Referees in respect of disqualification under the not normally in insurable employment condition since the coming into operation of the new Act to the nearest available date; and the number of such appeals which were reversed in favour of the applicant by the umpire?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI am having inquiry made and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend as soon as possible.
