Up to 24th June, tribunals had held sittings in London, Glasgow and 17 other centres and had heard 2,331 cases, including 1,121 training levy appeals, and 1,156 redundancy payments cases.

Reports of selected decisions are being published this week, and from now on at monthly intervals, by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThe list is soon expected to contain over 500 names and in view of its size and the frequency of changes, I do not think that publication would be worth while. A copy of the latest list can always be made available to hon. Members who wish to see it, and one is being placed in the Library.
