HC Deb 30 May 1935 vol 302 c1294
35. Mr. McENTEE

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury to what extent the Treasury is introducing mechanisation of accountancy and clerical work in Government Departments; and whether he can give details?

Mr. COOPER

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my predecessor to the hon. Member for Henley (Sir G. Fox) on the 4th May, 1933. Later information as to the position in certain Departments, namely, the Board of Education, the Admiralty, the Ministry of Health, the War Office, the Post Office and the Customs and Excise Department, was given by the Ministers concerned on the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 11th March last. I am sending the hon. Member for convenience of reference copies of all the above replies.
