HC Deb 23 November 1954 vol 533 cc118-9W
99. Mr. William Paling

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the risks to life and limb affecting employees and members of the public from the process of window cleaning, as confirmed in recent court decisions, he will consider introducing regulations to provide minimum standards of safety practice to be followed by employers and employees engaged in the processes of window cleaning for the protection of employees and members of the public.

Major Lloyd-George

I have no power to make regulations on this subject.
