HC Deb 09 November 2000 vol 356 cc336-7W
22. Dr. Iddon

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on negotiations with the Society of Registration Officers regarding its access to industrial tribunals in unfair dismissal cases. [135973]

Miss Melanie Johnson

Current legal proceedings may conclude that this access is available. If this does not transpire, the Government are committed to making such access available. The Registrar General will pursue an Order under the Employment Relations Act 1999 if this proves necessary to give registration officers access.
