§ Mr. FernyhoughThis subject is under urgent consideration by a sub-committee e of my Industrial Safety Advisory Council. The Factory Inspectorate are now carrying out a survey of the arrangements for joint consultation on safety in factories employing more than 50 people to of assess what progress has been made since a similar inquiry in 1967. A delegation from the Sub-Committee is to visit Sweden in April to look at the statutory arrangements for joint consultation on safety in that country. Any decision on ' legislation must await consideration by the Sub-Committee of the results of the second survey and the outcome of the g visit to Sweden.
