Mr. John Moore
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the members of supplementary benefit tribunals and industrial tribunals are paid.
Mr. O'Malley
All members of supplementary benefit appeal tribunals are eligible for travelling and subsistence allowances. In addition, chairmen receive a sessional fee and other members are compensated for loss of remunerative time.Industrial tribunals are a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment, but I understand from him that members receive a daily fee, in addition to any travelling and subsistence allowances which are appropriate.
