HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 cc147-8W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Technology what steps he has taken to ensure that manufacturers of machine tools offer, as standard, machines fitted with safety guards conforming to the regulations.

Dr. Bray

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Labour is responsible for the enforcement of the safety provisions of the Factories Act, 1961, and any regulations made under that Act, and thus for ensuring the guarding of machine tools in factories.
