HC Deb 31 January 1957 vol 563 c212W
75. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Labour what further provision he is making to safeguard workers using radioactive substances.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The drafting of the proposed Code of Ionising Radiations Regulations is taking longer than was expected, in part because of the need to take into account recent recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, but the work is being done as rapidly as possible. I would also refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Abingdon (Mr. Neave) on 30th October, 1956, as regards the work of the Factory Inspectorate in relation to radiation hazards, of which I am sending the hon. Member a copy.
