§ Mr. Maurice Macmillanasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish in the Official Report his Department's estimates of the present rates of absenteeism for reasons other than illness in those industries for which his Department has information, and the comparison figures, if available, for 1963, 1968 and 1973.
§ Mr. GoldingInformation about rates of absenteeism is not currently available. Occasional information in the past has been limited, for example, to a pay period in April 1970, the last such data available; but this would not be representative of absenteeism in the year as a whole.
