HC Deb 11 December 1990 vol 182 c388W
24. Mr. Allen McKay

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what action the Health and Safety Executive intends to take over the recent ombudsman's report on Stallite Batteries, Barnsley.

Mr. Forth

The Health and Safety Executive's (HSIE) field organisation has been recently substantially changed as the result of internal efficiency reviews. This change, coupled with improvements to the administration of medical surveillance procedures introduced by HSE following its own internal investigation, have been acknowledged by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, in his report published on 31 October, as a satisfactory outcome to the complaint raised.
