HC Deb 06 August 1975 vol 897 c263W
Mr. George Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when the Coal Mines (Respirable Dust) Regulations 1975 will come into operation.

Mr. Harold Walker

I understand from the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that proposed regulations on respirable dust in coal mines are in an advanced state of preparation and that he hopes that the commission will be able to make proposals to me to come into operation in autumn 1975.
