§ 47. Mr. Geoffrey Cooperasked the Minister of Labour the number of personnel management advisers appointed to his Department; which of the nationalised industries have called for assistance from his Department on matters affecting personnel administration; and what is the actual cost of running this Department of his Ministry.
§ Mr. IsaacsEleven personnel management advisers are in post at present. The answer to the second part of the Question is "None." The present cost of the personnel management advisory service is about £13,000 per annum.
§ Mr. CooperCould my right hon. Friend say whether any sort of working party has been set up to investigate personnel management problems in any of our nationalised industries; and if so, how many members of such working parties have been drawn from personnel management advisers in his Department?
§ Mr. IsaacsIf my hon. Friend had thought of that when he put down the Question, I might have answered it.
