HC Deb 08 February 1968 vol 758 cc214-5W
67. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will take steps to inspect launderettes, both automatic and non-automatic, to ensure that the advice set out in the pamphlet recently distributed by his Department is being followed.

Mr. Gunter

Launderettes within scope of the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act, 1963 are already subject to periodic inspection by the appropriate enforcing authority and, where necessary, advice on the installation and maintenance of water heating equipment is given on the lines indicated in the pamphlet. I have no power to require the inspection of other launderettes.
