Notification of Vacancies Order (Hansard, 30 June 1955)

HC Deb 30 June 1955 vol 543 cc491-2 491

§ 36. Mr. R. Harris
asked the Minister of Labour if the Notification of Vacancies Order, 1952, can now be withdrawn.

§ The Minister of Labour and National Service (Sir Walter Monckton)
No, Sir. For the reasons given in the reply to a similar Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, Central (Mr. Bishop) on 15th March last, it is still considered inexpedient to revoke this Order.

§ Mr. Harris
Do the advantages of this Order outweigh the vast amount of clerical work that must necessarily be imposed upon industry in carrying out the terms of the Order?

492

§ Sir W. Monckton
In the opinion of the Government, they do at present.
