Mr. Bowden

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many fatal industrial accidents there were in the Brighton Borough Council area in each of the years 1966 to 1976; and which companies were involved.

Mr. John Grant

The Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission informs me that information is not available for the whole of the period. However, during the years 1969–1976 only one fatal accident occurring in the Brighton Borough Council Area was notified to Her Majesty's Factory Inspectorate. This occurred in 1973.

Because of restrictions imposed by Section 28 (2) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the name of the firm at which the accident occurred cannot be divulged by the Commission.
