HC Deb 12 May 2003 vol 405 c73W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to create a specialist police unit to investigate work-related deaths. [110827]

Mr. Bob Ainsworth

Within the context for policing in England and Wales, I have no plans to create a specialist police unit to investigate work-related deaths. However, the Health and Safety Executive, Crown Prosecution Service, the Association of Chief Police Officers, Local Government Association and British Transport Police have produced a revised protocol for investigating work related deaths. The protocol sets out the principles for effective liaison between the organisations responsible for investigating work related deaths in England and Wales
