HC Deb 02 February 1973 vol 849 c471W
Mr. Peter Archer

asked the Attorney-General what are the salary and the period and conditions of appointment of the chairman of a supplementary benefit appeal tribunal.

The Attorney-General

There are no full-time salaried chairmen of supplementary benefit appeal tribunals. Part-time chairmen are paid £9.45 for a half-day session and are appointed for three-year terms. The appointments are terminable on one month's notice, and for misconduct or similar causes including unfitness, and are subject to the condition that the chairman resigns if he stands for Parliament, is adopted as a candidate, or becomes a politcal agent whether full-time or part-time.
