HC Deb 17 April 1956 vol 551 c848
60. Mr. Page

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what organised suggestion scheme is in operation in his Department; how many suggestions are received from employees through that organisation annually; how many are adopted; what awards are made for such suggestions; and what he estimates to be the savings made by the the adoption of employees' suggestions.

The Minister of Housing and Local Government (Mr. Duncan Sandys)

There is no organised scheme of this kind.

Mr. Page

Why not?

Mr. Sandys

These suggestion schemes do not always produce very productive results. For example, the former Ministry of Town and Country Planning had a scheme which in six years produced eleven suggestions.
