§ Mr. Anthony Grantasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will set out in the Official Report the forms required by his Department or organisations for which he is responsible to be completed by firms with less than 200 employees or turnover of less than £500,000 per annum, the frequency with which such forms are required, the number of questions asked and the use to which the information so obtained is put; and what steps he is taking to reduce such form filling.
§ Dr. SummerskillI regret that the information requested could not be provided without disproportionate effort. Requests within the Home Office for new forms or for reprints of existing forms are kept under continuous review, having regard to their necessity, simplicity and clarity.
