HC Deb 06 December 1983 vol 50 c125W
54. Mr. Neil Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will review the situation whereby two lay members of an employment appeal tribunal can overrule a professional judge on a point of law.

Mr. Gummer

No; we are satisfied with the current arrangements. The employment appeal tribunal is bound by precedents established by the higher Courts and its decisions are subject to appeal to these courts on points of law.
