HC Deb 11 February 1969 vol 777 c255W
56. Mr. David Watkins

asked the Minister of Power what progress has been made in establishing local committees to examine disputed applications for benefit under the Redundant Mine-workers (Payments) Scheme, 1968.

Mr. Freeson

Local Committees are now in operation and my right hon. Friend has agreed with his right hon. Friend, the First Secretary, that the services of personnel of Industrial Tribunals may be called upon if there are disputes not resolved by the local committees.
