HC Deb 21 June 1984 vol 62 cc248-9W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if his recent memorandum to Manpower Services Commission staff on the layout of its correspondence was issued as a direction under the Employment and Training Act 1973.

Mr. Peter Morrison

The memorandum issued to commission staff by commission management followed a request made on my behalf of senior officials in the commission that, as a matter of courtesy, staff who wrote to members of the public should address and sign their letters personally. This request was not a direction under the Employment and Training Act.

Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has issued any directions to the Manpower Services Commission on the layout of its correspondence under the Employment and Training Act 1973.

Mr. Peter Morrison

No.
