§ Mr. Oakesasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity when the proposed Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations will be introduced.
§ Mr. FernyhoughMy right hon. Friend's aim is to introduce legislation as soon as the complexity of the subject and the Parliamentary time-table will allow, but I regret that I am not yet able to say exactly when this will be.

Mr. FerynhoughOver 500 organisations were consulted. Replies have been received from the Trades Union Congress, the Confederation of British Industry and from 320 other organisations.
