§ Captain Kerbyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which Government Departments have been investigated and reported on by the Treasury's Organisation and Methods Department; which of their recommendations have been put into practice; and what savings in manpower, paper and other consumable stores, floor space, and money, have resulted.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftThe Treasury Organisation and Methods Division has existed under that name since 1941 and is responsible for advising upwards of 50 Departments. I am afraid that I cannot attempt in reply to a Parliamentary Question to summarise the results of their work or put a figure to the savings they have effected in all these years over so wide a field.
