HC Deb 07 December 1978 vol 959 cc786-7W
Mr. Spriggs

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he insists on the full implementation of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act, the Employment Protection Act and the Contracts of Employment Act when he places contracts with firms for trunk road and motorway construction.

Mr. Horam

The Department's conditions of contract for trunk road and motorway construction require the contractor to ascertain and conform in all respects with the provisions of any Act of Parliament and the regulations and bye-laws of any local or other statutory authority which may be applicable.
