HC Deb 17 May 1978 vol 950 cc185-6W
31. Mr. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will bring all workplaces, including those of the Crown, under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act.

Mr. John Grant

All work activities, with the exception of domestic work in private households, are already subject to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and, as I explained in my answer to the hon. Member on 8th May—[Vol. 949, c.380]—the Act is binding on the Crown.
