HC Deb 20 November 1992 vol 214 c399W
Mr. Janner

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether she will arrange for public telephone facilities to be made available at the premises of industrial tribunals.

Mr. McLoughlin

Public telephones are provided in the majority of industrial tribunal offices. Where they are not, the tribunal staff arrange access to an official telephone for parties, their representatives or witnesses if they need this in connection with the tribunal hearing. The central offices of the industrial tribunals in England and Wales and Scotland have been asked to review the arrangements with a view to ensuring that the public have access to a telephone.
