The Labour Relations Commission (LRC) is an independent statutory body under the aegis of my Department. As an independent quasi-judicial body, I have no role in the day-to-day exercise of its functions.

I am informed that the total cost of providing interpreters for the Labour Relations Commission, per year, from 2007 to 2012 was as set out in the table below.
