HC Deb 09 May 1980 vol 984 cc251-2W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the number and percentage of wages council firms inspected and found to be breaking, in some respect, a wages council order, the number of workers affected, the number of members paid arrears and the amount, together with the number of members who refused arrears and the value of the lost wages, for each year since 1968.

has received about the need to increase the size of the board of the Civil Aviation Authority.

Mr. Tebbit

The Council on Tribunals has suggested to my Department that it may be necessary for the statutory maximum number of members of the authority to be raised so that more members are available for air transport licensing hearings. The Department expects that, after a current vacancy on the authority has been filled, more members could be made available for hearings without increasing the statutory maximum numbers of authority members.
