HC Deb 10 November 1952 vol 507 c9W
61. Colonel Gomme-Duncan

asked the Minister of Transport why the staff of the Transport Tribunal has been increased from 10 in 1951–52 to 15 in 1952–53.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In August, 1951, my predecessor transferred to the Transport Tribunal under Section 73 of the Transport Act, 1947, the functions of the Appeal Tribunal established under the Road and Rail Traffic Act, 1933. The staff was increased to deal with the additional work, but this increase was more than offset by the saving of the staff of the Appeal Tribunal.
