HC Deb 27 July 1967 vol 751 cc242-3W
111. Sir D. Renton

asked the Minister of Labour what is his estimate of the degree of over-employment in British industry; and how many workers he estimates would be made available for other work if they were not employed wastefully in their present occupations.

Mr. Gunter

I have no precise figures to quote to the hon. Member but the Government favour the better utilisation of manpower and their policies are directed to that end.
