§ 41. Mr. Murrayasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity what steps she is taking to ensure workers' representation on the management safety committee at Kingsnorth Power Station.
§ Mr. FernyhoughThe management safety committee on this site includes representatives of the 22 firms involved. Some of these firms have safety committees on which employees are represented. Her Majesty's Inspector of Factories made four visits to the site in 1968 to discuss the matter but the management concerned was not willing to enlarge the management safety committee to include workers' representation. My right hon. Friend has no powers to compel it to set up a joint site safety committee.
§ 42. Mr. Murrayasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity if she will publish in full in the OFFICIAL REPORT the replies of the management safety committee at Kingsnorth Power Station to the representation of Her Majesty's District Inspector of Factories that it should set up a joint committee with workers' participation.
§ Mr. FernyhoughThere have been no written communications between the Inspector and the management on this subject.
