§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish lists of trades council nominees on the panels for supplementary benefit tribunals, together with the number of times the nominees have been asked to attend tribunals in the year ended 31st December 1972; and how this figure compares with attendance by non-trades council nominees.
§ Mr. DeanThere is no central record of the names and attendances of trades council nominees on the panels for supplementary benefit appeal tribunals. To obtain this information for 120 tribunals would involve disproportionate cost.
