HC Deb 07 May 1941 vol 371 cc859-60W
Mr. Sutcliffe

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the feeling among many in industry that the vast number of forms issued by his Department is wasteful of paper and unnecessary, as the replies could often be more easily obtained by local inspectors or by greater liaison between Government Departments; and whether he will reduce the number of such forms to an absolute minimum?

Sir A. Duncan:

I can assure my hon. Friend that the question of the amount of information necessary is kept under constant review. If he will let me have particulars of any cases he has in mind, I shall be pleased to look into them.
