Department cuts
Sir,—lt is almost unbelievable to me that the head of a department faced with pruning the expenses of his department, has to start with the tea lady. So the Government wants a 3 per cent cut in expenditure and the tea lady has to go. Why not start pruning from the top like any good gardener would. A 3 per cent cut in the department’s salaries would be more than adequate. Mr Hensley should think big. — Yours, etc.. BERNICE I. PERRY. February 10. 1982.
