§ 25. Mr. Madelasked the Secretary of State for Employment what relationship the figures for fatal accidents at work notified to his Department's Factory Inspectorate during 1970 have to those for 1969; if he is satisfied with this trend; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Dudley Smith556 fatal accidents were notified in 1970, 93 fewer than in 1969. While the results of one year must be interpreted with caution. I hope that this fall may indicate that the trend has started to decline.
