§ Mr. Goldingasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will take steps to make it mandatory to install dust extraction equipment on portable abrasive wheels in foundries.
§ Mr. Dudley SmithThis would require some modifications of the Chief Inspector's exemption given under the Grinding of Metals (Miscellaneous Industries) Regulations. Since these regulations apply to other industries as well as to foundries, a number of interested organisations will have to be consulted. We shall, however, examine the hon. Member's suggestion.
