§ 30. Sir G. Nabarroasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what estimate she has made of the loss of productivity resulting from industrial tea-breaks and of the increases in 9W productivity resulting from mechanisation and substitution universally in workshops of automatic vending machinery for both beverages, hot and cold, and comestibles; and whether she will make a statement on this aspect of industrial productivity increases.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerNo such estimate has been made, but officers of my Department suggest the installation of vending machinery and the elimination of tea-breaks where this will lead to increased productivity.
