§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Minister of Transport whether she is satisfied that the funds of the Tuppence Fund, in the custody of the National Dock Labour Board, are being satisfactorily accounted for.
§ Mr. HattersleyI have been asked to reply. The answer is "Yes". The Special Fund—commonly known as the "Tuppeny Fund"—is held and invested by the National Dock Labour Board on behalf of the unions, party to the National Joint Council agreement of 1st September, 1958, which established the Fund for the benefit of dockworkers, to be used for purposes decided on by the unions. An account of the Fund is published in the Board's Annual Reports.
