HC Deb 16 May 1966 vol 728 c905
27. Mr. Scott

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will seek power to provide for the medical examination of young persons employed in premises covered by the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The recent Report of the Sub-Committee of my right hon. Friend's Industrial Health Advisory Committee recommended that when the Appointed Factory Doctor Service was revised power should be taken to bring within the scope of medical examinations young persons in occupations covered by the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963. The Government are considering the recommendations of the Report.
