HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 cc400-1W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what was the estimated total of working days lost through absenteeism on 1st January, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970 and 1971, respectively.

Mr. Dudley Smith

No estimates are available. Arrangements for collecting appropriate information systematically from employers were not made in any of these years and would not be justified.
