HC Deb 01 April 1947 vol 435 c288W
101. Mr. Edward Davies

asked the Minister of Labour if he is satisfied that disablement advisory committees have sufficient detailed information to enable them to ascertain how far employers are observing the requirements of the Act.

Mr. Isaacs

The powers of disablement advisory committees as defined in the Act do not include responsibility for ensuring compliance by employers. This responsibility rests with me, and the Act gives me and my officers full powers to inspect the records which employers are required to keep. I am satisfied that this is sufficient for the present.
