HC Deb 18 July 1977 vol 935 c342W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether it is Government policy that members of trade unions not affiliated to the TUC are excluded from service on industrial tribunals.

Since the repeal of the Industrial Relations Act the Government have followed the policy that appertained before 1971 of appointing employee members of tribunals after consultation with the TUC.
