HC Deb 10 June 1969 vol 784 c227W
51. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will send a circular to local authorities recommending them to insure fully home helps who are injured in the course of their work, in view of the details which have been sent to him by the hon. Member for Louth.

Mr. Skeffington

Local authorities are independent employers and general guidance from my right hon. Friend about the conditions of service of their staff would not be appropriate.
