I wish to declare an interest in that I commissioned the original business review when I was Minister of State with responsibility for labour affairs. I noted the query in the written submission about the reduction of resources in the Employment Appeals Tribunal. I checked with the Department and I am informed that the number of administrative staff at the tribunal had increased from 33 in 2008 to 44 in 2011 when I finished.
