Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy to outline the reasons why the appointment of independent members to the Industrial Tribunals Panel has been significantly delayed.

Answer:

There was a delay in the recruitment process due to the limited availability of suitable interview panel members; however, all interviews have now been completed, and I expect to be in a position to announce appointments in the next few weeks.
