§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has had concerning the applicability of the provisions of the 160W Health and Safety at Work etc. Act to technical staff at universities; and what was the nature of his reply.
§ Mr. John GrantI am informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the Association of Scientific, Technical and Managerial Staffs approached him recently in writing about the application of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act at universities. He informed the association that all staff employed in universities, including technical staff, had the same rights and duties under the Act as other employed or self-employed persons, and that the Act would be enforced in universities by the Health and Safety Executive.
