Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether there is any comparative monitoring of accident rates in the two largest baking companies as compared with the remainder ; and, if so, what results are shown.

Mr. John Grant:

I am informed by the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that comparative monitoring of accident rates in the two largest companies against the remainder has not been carried out.

Mrs. Wise

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether the accident rate in the baking industry has improved in the last 10 years.

Mr. John Grant:

I am informed by the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the incidence rate per 100,000 employed in the "bread, flour and confectionery" section of the baking industry has increased whereas the rate in the "biscuit" section of the industry has declined in the last 10 years.
