HC Deb 14 October 1991 vol 196 cc101-5W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment, how many CEN committees have represen-tatives from the Health and Safety Executive sitting on them; and if he will list them.

Mr. Forth

[pursuant to his reply, 9 May 1991, c. 581–82]: I regret that my reply contained an incomplete table due to under-recording of staff of the Health and Safety Executive who form part of the delegation to CEN— European Committee for Standardisation—commit-tees.
