HC Deb 06 November 1979 vol 973 c120W
32. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what further steps he proposes to take to improve the conditions of homeworkers.

Mr. Jim Lester

It has already been announced that the Health and Safety Commission expects to begin consultation on draft regulations for the health and safety of workers in domestic premises early next year. More generally, my Department is continuing research into the problems of homeworking, and we shall be reviewing the matter as more information comes to hand.
