HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 cc265-6W
Mr. Cyril Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many lay members have been appointed to serve on industrial tribunals in the Greater Manchester Region; and what is the number of sittings in 1976 at which each of them has been called upon to serve.

Mr. Harold Walker

There are 196 lay members in the area of the Manchester regional office of the industrial tribunals. On average, each member has served on nine occasions in the current financial year. Information about individual members is not readily available. Nor would it be appropriate to provide it.
