HC Deb 19 June 1956 vol 554 c80W
63. Mr. W. J. Taylor

asked the Minister of Labour what instructions are issued to factory inspectors regarding the giving of notice to factory occupiers of intended visits; and whether he is satisfied that these instructions are being carried out.

Mr. Carr

Inspectors are instructed that they should not, except in special circumstances, give advance notice of an intended visit. As a general rule, all visits should be surprise visits. I have every reason to believe that these instructions are being fully carried out.
