§ 55. Ms. MowlamTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he has any plans to improve current standards relating to the guarding of dangerous machinery.
§ Mr. NichollsI am satisfied that the standards required under United Kingdom legislation for the guarding of machinery are already high and I see no need for further legislation at present. However, we are awaiting the adoption of two European Community directives which may require some changes to United Kingdom legislation in due course.
