HC Deb 21 October 1975 vol 898 cc102-4W
Mr. Lamborn

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he hopes to issue regulations under Part I of the Health and Safety at Work Act to enable local authorities to assume their responsibilities under the Act.

Mr. Harold Walker

I am informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that proposals for regulations allocating enforcement duties to local authorities will shortly be submitted to the Secretary of State.

Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list those regulations made by him so far under the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974; and how many further regulations he estimates he will publish before 31st December 1975.

Mr. Harold Walker

Following is a list of health and safety regulations made under provisions in Parts I and IV of the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974. Those marked with an asterisk have been made by the Secretary of State for Employment; those with a dagger have been made jointly by the Secretaries of State for Employment and Energy.

The Health and Safety Commission will probably be submitting proposals for two sets of regulations before the year end. In addition, there may be further proposals for regulations in respect of particular coal mines.
