§ Mr. Edward Evansasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider altering the designation of those Ministries which have composite titles, "Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food," "Ministry of Housing and Local Government," "Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation," "Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance," "Ministry of Labour and National Service," to one word designations in each case so as to save time, space and effort in correspondence with these Departments and any others with a similar plurality of title.
§ The Prime MinisterI share the hon. Gentleman's dislike of these long titles and I hope that, as opportunities for change arise, we may be able to revert to shorter forms.
