HC Deb 17 February 1976 vol 905 cc634-5W
16. Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he expects that regulations requiring employers to consult trades union representatives on health and safety matters will be brought into effect.

19. Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for Employment when he proposes to introduce regulations providing for workers' safety representatives.

Mr. Harold Walker

Regulations concerning safety representatives and safety committees will be introduced after consideration of the firm proposals on these matters from the Health and Safety Commission. The proposals are likely to be submitted as soon as possible after 13th March when comments on the Commission's consultative document are due. I cannot say at present how long the Commission will need to complete its consideration of the comments then received.
