§ Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for Employment what recent research his Department has conducted or commissioned into the effect of legislation enacted since February 1974 upon the readiness of firms employing fewer than 50 workers to recruit more labour; and if he will now publish the results of any such research.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerEarlier this year I commissioned such a survey. The data are now becoming available and I hope to give a preliminary report on the results shortly.
