HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 c170W
152. Mr. Rose

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will investigate the activities of those companies currently supplying personal details of individuals to prospective employers, and if necessary introduce legislation to make this sort of company illegal.

Mr. Hattersley:

No. But if there is evidence of malpractices by companies of this sort, the Government will consider what action may be necessary.
