§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he is satisfied that the certificate of appointment of inspectors under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 signed by John Locke and dated 14th January 1976 is acceptable in loose card form with no means of identification attached.

§ Mr. John GrantI am informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the instrument of appointment issued to each inspector under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 is kept, together with a certificate of appointment also signed by Mr. John Locke, the Director General of the Health and Safety Executive, in a clear plastic wallet in such a manner that the two documents can be produced together if so required. The certificate of appointment bears a photograph of and is signed by, the inspector. The executive is to combine these two documents into a single one, when appointing inspectors in future.
§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will place a copy of the general warrant authorising inspectors under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 in the Library.
§ Mr. John GrantYes. This general warrant has now been replaced by the issue of individual instruments of appointment to inspectors, but I am arranging for a copy of it to be placed in the Library.
