Mr. Steen

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the rules and regulations in his Department which have been withdrawn in the last 12 months, or which his Department plans to withdraw in the next 12 months; and what impact this will have on his Department's manpower.

Those for withdrawal in the next 12 months will be announced as and when consultations are completed.
