HC Deb 19 February 1968 vol 759 c6
5. Mr. Winnick

asked the Minister of Labour what representations he has received regarding the activities of certain organisations which are obtaining on behalf of prospective employers personal details of individuals applying for jobs; what steps he proposes to take; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gunter

I would refer my hon. Friend to the debate on this subject on 5th February.

Mr. Winnick

Will my right hon. Friend give the House an assurance today that he will keep a very careful watch on these rather dubious organisations which inform on prospective employees for money?

Mr. Gunter

Yes, I give that assurance and, because of my concern about certain aspects of this situation, I propose to have talks with the C.B.I.
