HC Deb 25 March 1976 vol 908 c278W
Mr. Bradford

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, if he intends amending legislation to enable the Commissioner of Complaints to investigate cases of industrial injury if an appellant so wishes.

Mr. Moyle,

pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 24th March 1976, Vol. 908, c. 205], gave the following information:

No. The Social Security (Northern Ireland) Act 1975 provides for a claimant of industrial injury benefit who is dissatisfied with a decision of an insurance officer to appeal to a local tribunal. The Act also provides for a claimant to appeal against a decision of a local tribunal to the National Insurance Commissioner.
