HC Deb 26 June 1996 vol 280 c180W
Mr. Ian McCartney

To ask the Lord President of the Council what was the cost in each of the past five years of rectifying working conditions that were the responsibility of his Department and its agencies, to bring them up to acceptable health and safety standards, detailing incidents involving information technology and those involving expenditure of more than £5,000. [33459]

Mr. Newton

Working conditions within the Privy Council office over the past five years have not at any time fallen below acceptable health and safety standards, although the maintenance of such standards is an important management priority and resources are directed to that end as necessary. I am not responsible for any agencies.

Mr. McCartney

To ask the Lord President of the Council how many(a) minor, (b) major and (c) fatal injuries have been suffered by staff in his Department and its agencies in work-related incidents in each of the past five years, showing in each year how many were related to information technology and giving details of all incidents involving fatalities. [33457]

Mr. Newton

None. I am not responsible for any agencies.
