§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he plans legislation to restrict the concentration of hydrogen in battery charging rooms in factories.
§ Mr. Harold WalkerNo. I am advised by the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the risk is well-known, and that the provisions of Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 allow Her Majesty's Factory Inspectorate to control this hazard. If the hon. Member has any particular case or incident in mind about which he is particularly concerned, I would be grateful if he would let me know of it.
