HC Deb 20 January 1969 vol 776 c2W
44. Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity which areas were worst hit by absenteeism on 1st January, 1969; and how much production was lost to the country through it.

Mr. Harold Walker

Arrangements to collect such information systematically were not made and would not be justified. I thus cannot add to what has been reported in the Press.
