HC Deb 03 May 1961 vol 639 c109W
37. Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Labour what progress has been made in the training of first-aid workers in small factories employing less than 50 people since the passing of the order made under the Factories Act, 1959.

Mr. Hare

The First-aid (Standard of Training) Order, 1960, which comes into force on 1st July, 1961, applies to factories employing more than 50 workers. The voluntary training organisations have made a special effort to increase their training courses this year to meet the needs of industry.
