HC Deb 16 April 1956 vol 551 cc37-8W
18. Mr. Page

asked the Minister of Supply 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

Mr. Renton

Staff suggestions in my right hon. Friend's Department are considered by a Standing Committee of the Departmental Whitley Council; in recent years there have been about eight suggestions a year and awards varying from 10s. to £2 have been made in the cases adopted. A contribution has undoubtedly been made towards greater efficiency, but it is not possible to estimate the savings that have resulted.
