HC Deb 23 April 1971 vol 815 cc467-8W
Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he now intends to take to improve occupational health and safety.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The possibility of reintroducing legislation to establish an Employment Medical Advisory Service will be kept in mind as the Government reviews its policy in the field of occupational health. Any general change in the wider field of occupational health and safety must await the report of the Committee on Safety and Health at Work, now sitting under the chairmanship of Lord Robens.
