§ Mr. Cantasked the Minister of Technology (1) whether he is aware that the representative of a firm of management consultants, whose name has been sent to him, under contract with Her Majesty's Government for the purpose of persuading British citizens in the United States of America to return to this country to reverse the brain drain, has caused concern amongst those interviewed because of his discourtesy and lack of preparedness, and whether he will therefore terminate the contract;
(2) whether, in view o the inefficiency of the firm of management consultants, whose name has been sent to him, employed by Her Majesty's Government in the United States of America to reverse the brain drain, he will circulate the British citizens concerned directly, giving information about jobs available to them in this country;
(3) how much is being paid from public funds to Mr. David Frost, who is 107W engaged on behalf of Her Majesty's Government to visit the United States of America to seek to reverse the brain drain.
§ Mr. BennI am making inquiries into the points raised by my hon. Friend and will write to him. The firm concerned has a contract for an advance of up to £2,900 towards its attempts to recruit graduates from North American Business Schools for British companies. The contract expires in June, 1968.
