HC Deb 30 November 1964 vol 703 cc7-8W
64. Dr. David Kerr

asked the Minister of Labour what has been the outcome of the consultations held by his factory inspectorate with the authorities of the House of Lords and House of Commons on arrangements for the provision of medical facilities in the Palace of Westminster; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Thornton

Following these consultations, which related to the provisions of the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963, the House of Commons' authorities decided to provide additional first-aid boxes. This provision, and that made by the House of Lords' authorities, will meet all the statutory requirements on first aid which come into force tomorrow, 1st December.
