HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 c371W
55. Mr. Rose

asked the Attorney-General on what basis he assesses the performance of chairmen of industrial tribunals; and on whose evidence he decides that such service is with distinction, or otherwise.

The Solicitor-General

The performance of a chairman may from time to time be judged in the light of comments of the House of Lords, the Court of Appeal or a divisional court, or the opinion of the president of the tribunal. Whether a chairman can fairly be said to have served with distinction is no doubt a matter of judgment on the part of the person making it in forming which such comments can be taken into account.
