§ Mr. Saltasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply whether, in view of the volume of criticism about the lack of organisation in munitions production and of slacking and inefficiency in certain factories and of the harm done by such criticisms when unfounded, he will make arrangements to ensure that everyone who comes across a definite case of mismanagement and inefficiency shall be able and encouraged to report it to the responsible authorities?
§ Mr. Harold MacmillanIn all Royal Ordnance Factories, there is an established procedure by which employees may submit suggestions for improvement. All apparently bona fide suggestions from other sources as to possible improvements in production on behalf of the Ministry of Supply are examined most carefully by the appropriate officers of the Ministry. There is, in addition, a department of the Ministry, under the Director General of Production Services, which has recently been instituted for the purpose, among others, of inquiring into any major impediments to production of a general or specific kind.
