HC Deb 14 May 1962 vol 659 cc92-3W
40. Mr. Hannan

asked the Minister of Labour if he will now give effect to the recommendation of the Committee of Inquiry on Industrial Health Services submitted to Parliament in 1951, that a standing joint advisory council should be formed in Scotland.

Mr. Hare

No. The Industrial Health Advisory Committee, which was appointed in 1955 to advise on measures to further the development of industrial health services in work places under the Factories Acts, covers Great Britain as a whole, and the interests of Scotland are considered equally with those of England and Wales.
