§ Mr. Rossiasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will collect statistics of injuries suffered by the users of local authority-owned buildings caused by the breaking of glass windows or doors.
§ Mr. ArmstrongI have no plans to do so.
Research into accidents in and around buildings, including accidents caused by breaking of glass windows and doors, is currently being undertaken by the Building Research Establishment.
I understand that the Health and Safety Executive has arrangements for obtaining over a limited period particulars of some reportable accidents involving injury from collision with glass doors, windows and partitions at premises subject to the Factories Act 1961 and the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963.
