§ 54. Mr. J. Rodgersasked the Minister of Labour what response he has had from both sides of industry following the distribution of the official document, "Positive Employment Policies".
§ Mr. Iain MacleodThere has been a gratifying response to the issue of this booklet. A large number of employers have written to comment favourably on its contents, and employers and their organisations, trades unions, educational organisations and voluntary associations have asked for a substantial number of additional copies. Inquiries are coming in from overseas.
§ Mr. RodgersHow many copies of this booklet have been printed? Is my right hon. Friend's Ministry prepared to follow up the distribution of the booklet by helping firms who wish to adopt some of the excellent policies dealt with?
§ Mr. MacleodThe printing, all of which is required, is now about 42,000. My Ministry, particularly through personnel management services, is doing what it can to follow up inquiries which are coming in all the time.
