asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will reconsider his decision to cease giving advance notice of industrial tribunals to the press; if he will indicate what savings this would achieve in the course of the next year: and what percentage this constitutes of his departmental budget.

[pursuant to his reply, 24 March 1980, c. 383]: No. The decision to cease the production of advance notices of cases appearing before industrial tribunals will save £28,509 of the Department's budget. This represents a 0·04 per cent. saving on the DE net Vote for Administration, in 1979–80 including supplementaries—Class IV Vote 22.The above costs do not include postage and handling costs of the COI.
