HC Deb 19 December 1991 vol 201 c289W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what remuneration will be paid to chairpersons and other members of social security and disability appeal tribunals from April 1992.

Miss Widdecombe

The fee payable to social security tribunal chairmen from April 1992 will be £115 per half-day session. Social security tribunal members are not paid a fee.

The fee payable to disability appeal tribunal chairmen from April 1992 will be £115 per half-day session. There will be two rates payable to disability tribunal members: the lay members will be paid £53 per half-day session; the fee for the medical member—in practice a GP—will be in excess of this, but has not yet been fixed.
