HC Deb 18 December 1972 vol 848 c274W
74. Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will now order an inquiry into conditions in lead refineries, bearing in mind recent surveys of the high lead levels in the blood of children living around such works.

Mr. Dudley Smith

No. The Windeyer Committee made a number of suggestions for improving conditions in the industry at large and these are already being followed up.
