Industrial aims

Sir, — I agree with P. A. van Dugteren (February 3) about'the losses suffered by small savers, though it is principally the prudent elderly poor that have been robbed. I am not informed on “the enormous expansion of the bureaucracy under this Government” engineered over the last 18 months. Certainly I know that the new indirect tax system (GST) will require more than 500 extra people to operate it and that business people will have more accounting work to do as a result of the new tax. I assume that P. A. van Dugteren is aware of other increases in bureaucracy and accordingly I would be glad to be brought up to date with further information. — Yours, etc., PATRICK NEARY.. February 4, 1986.

Sir, — David Mollet’s suggestions about education for flexibility and creativity (February 3) are irrelevant because he is still stuck in the patriarchal concept of language. I quote from his letter. “If we concentrate mainly on the intellectual development to the exclusion of the effective facet of child and man, we shall end up with a work force which is inflexible in attitude.” Until he can recognise the inbuilt oppression of women in our language

he maintains an attitude as inflexible as the one he is anxious to avoid. — Yours, etc., MARY FERGUSON. February 4, 1986.
