Safety, Health and Welfare

HC Deb 24 February 1969 vol 778 cc198-9W

77. Mr. John Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of non-Governmental bodies that have been consulted by her Department about proposed new safety, health and welfare legislation and indicate if this includes research organisations.

Mr. Fernyhough

On the first part of the Question, the list contains about 700 names and I see no useful purpose in publishing it in this way. I will, however, send the information to the hon. Member. On the second part, the only non-Governmental research organisation consulted was the National Research Development Corporation.
