Respondents are asked for their opinion of reasons for their selection, and whether they were appointed as Minister's nominee or as Trades Council nominee. If the member has been promoted to Chairman since his appointment, the importance of remuneration is obtained. If he is an ordinary member, the importance of fee for service and any eventual financial loss to the member through service are ascertained.<br> Respondent, opinion on frequency of sittings of tribunals, necessary experience, qualifications and personal qualities required of a good chairman and effective ordinary member, and own personal satisfaction or dissatisfaction in service are elicited. In a final section, comments are invited on methods of recruiting and selecting members, on changes needed in kinds of people appointed, and on the general work of Tribunals.<br> Background Variables<br> Age, highest formal education or professional qualifications, status of employment (i.e. whether self-employed, employed, retired or housewife), last paid occupation, husband's occupation (if housewife), judicial or semi-judicial or committee experience (with details and dates), membership of professional, occupational or trade union organisations and any voluntary work done during the period, 1962 - 72. A final detailed breakdown of income and salary from all sources completes the information.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> September 1971 - October 1972 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England and Wales <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals; Groups; Institutions/organisations </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Members of Supplementary Benefit Appeals Tribunals in three of twelve administrative regions in England and Wales: West Midlands, East Midlands and Wales </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 363 (target) 261 (obtained) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Postal survey <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
