Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Employment on what topics the Health and Safety Commission is considering recommending regulations or codes of practice; at what stage of preparation and consultation it is in each case; and what is the target date for submission to the Minister.

Mr. Harold Walker

I am informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the Commission is considering recommending regulations or codes of practice on topics covering practically the entire spectrum of health and safety at work. This is associated with the review required by Section 1(2) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Work is now in hand in some 70 subject areas. It is not practicable to provide further information at present.
