the Industrial Health and Safety Centre, Horseferry Road, in 1975; how many of these were young persons; and what is the annual cost of running the centre.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerI am informed by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that 21,096 persons visited the Industrial Health and Safety Centre during 1975. Of these 2,450 were bona fide apprentices. However, no statistics of visitors by age group are kept and, therefore, any more precise identification of young visitors is not possible.
The overall cost of running the Centre is approximately £121,000 per annum at current price levels. This figure includes staff costs but excludes the cost of special exhibitions.
