HC Deb 28 April 1993 vol 223 c417W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many staff are employed by the offices of the industrial tribunals and the fair employment tribunals; and how many are(a) Protestants and (b) Roman Catholics.

Mr. Mates

The Office of Industrial Tribunals and the Fair Employment Tribunal is staffed by 26 civil servants.

Disclosure of information on the religious affiliation of Northern Ireland civil service staff is governed by a code of practice which stipulates that no statistical summaries will be produced which fall outside the categories of analyses agreed with staff representatives. The most recent analyses were published in the "Fourth Report of the Northern Ireland Civil Service Equal Opportunities Unit", a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House.
