HC Deb 22 July 1977 vol 935 cc738-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment to what extent chairmen and members of industrial courts, trades arbitration tribunals, and their committees appointed to arbitrate on wages and industrial disputes receive less than £135 per week in salaries and expenses.

Mr. Harold Walker

I assume that my hon. Friend is referring to arbitrators appointed by the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service, who are paid on a daily basis. The fee for a single arbitrator or the chairman of a board of arbitration is £35 per day, whilst side members of boards of arbitration receive £21 per day.
