§ 4. Mr. Pageasked the Secretary of State for War what organised suggestion scheme is in operation in his Department; how many suggestions are received from employees through that organisation annually; how many are adopted; what awards are made for such suggestions; and what he estimates to be the savings made by the adoption of employees' suggestions.
§ Mr. HeadWe have had an organised suggestion scheme for eight years. Last year 304 suggestions reached the War Office and 234 cash awards were made. It is not normally practicable to value the increased efficiency resulting from suggestions in terms of money.
