HC Deb 15 July 1991 vol 195 cc59-60W
Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment (1) if he will take steps to ensure that the results of industrial tribunals are notified to the appellants before being released to the media;

(2) if he will investigate the recent leaks of the results of industrial tribunals; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Forth

In accordance with the Industrial Tribunal (Rules of Procedure) (Scotland) Regulations 1985 decisions are entered in the register and then sent to the parties. The register is open to the public, as required by the regulations. I am not aware of any problems arising from this procedure, but if the hon. Member has a specific case in mind perhaps he will let me have the details so that I can examine it.
