Mr. Peter Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what training or other facilities are available to assist (a) chairmen and (b) members of industrial tribunals in Northern Ireland in carrying out their function.

Mr. Butler

The president of industrial tribunals in Northern Ireland is responsible for providing any training that may be necessary to assist tribunal chairmen and panel members in carrying out their responsibilities. The president provides newly appointed chairmen and members with advice and guidance on their functions, arranges familiarisation programmes concerned with the operation of tribunals, and organises such seminars and meetings as he considers appropriate.
