§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many visits the Factories Inspectorate has made to the Crabtree Electrical Works in Walsall during the last 12 months.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission informs me that Her Majesty's Factory Inspectorate district staff paid eight visits in 1975 to the factory of J. & A. Crabtree & Co. Ltd., Lincoln Works, Beacon Street, Walsall. In addition the West Midlands Division Electrical Inspector visited twice. The district staff also paid three visits to the firm's factory in Brownhills, Staffs, and one visit to the firm's small new factory in King Street, Walsall.
§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will institute an immediate inquiry into the death of David Allan at the Crabtree Electrical Works, Walsall, and publish the findings.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerThe Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission informs me that both the District Inspector and the Divisional Electrical Inspector are already investigating this fatality, and I consider that this investigation and the inquest to be held by the coroner's 377W court is appropriate to this case, but inspectors are of course considering carefully what further action may need to be taken.
