HC Deb 15 June 1978 vol 951 c648W
Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he can estimate the cost of extending the civil legal aid scheme to industrial tribunals in Scotland held under the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1974 as amended by the Employment Protection Act 1975; and what plans he has to do so.

Mr. Harry Ewing

It is not possible to estimate the cost of extending legal aid to industrial tribunals. My right hon. Friend has no plans at present for such an extension.
