§ 67. Mr. Wootton-Daviesasked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware of the waste of man-power and woman-power in the country owing to the need for filling up official and semi-official forms; and whether he will make an investigation to see whether this work can be substantially reduced?
§ Mr. G. TomlinsonI am not sure what particular forms my hon. Friend is referring to, but so far as returns relating 855 to production and employment are concerned, I can assure him that I have the point he makes very much in mind and that every effort is made to reduce the information asked for from employers, workpeople and others to the minimum necessary and to avoid overlapping between Departments.
§ Mr. Wootton-DaviesIs the Minister aware that many people will be pleased to see this innovation?
