§ Mr. David Priceasked the Minister for Overseas Development what is the total number of different forms which his Department, and its subordinate agencies, have currently available for different purposes requiring completion by members of the general public; when the necessity 31W for each such form was last reviewed; and whether he intends to reduce the number of such forms and to simplify their contents.
§ Mr. PrenticeMy Department issues no forms requiring completion by members of the general public. There are, however, in the field of recruitment for service overseas, three forms which applicants are invited to complete. The need for these forms, and their contents, are reviewed in the course of normal business. Similar forms are used by related bodies associated with overseas recruitment but they, of course, are responsible for their own administrative processes.
