§ Mr. Albuasked the Minister of Labour when the fee for members of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal and the Civil Service Arbitration Tribunal was fixed at five guineas a day; and what was the preceding rate and when that had been fixed.
§ Mr. WatkinsonI assume that the Question refers to the remuneration of "members" of the Civil Service Arbitration Tribunal and "representative members" of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal. The fee of five guineas a day came into operation on 1st October, 1951. The preceding rate for members of the Civil Service Arbitration Tribunal was four guineas a day, fixed in 1937. The rate for representative members of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal has been five guineas a day since the Tribunal was set up in 1951.
