asked the Minister for Labour if it is his intention to extend the scope of the Labour Court and the number of staff employed there.
Comment on this
I am assigning additional staff to the Labour Court to enable it to deal with its increasing work-load. An extension of the scope of the Court is not contemplated but the role and functions of the Court will be examined by the Commission on Industrial Relations, to be established when consultations at present proceeding are completed.
