HC Deb 05 December 1980 vol 995 cc188-9W
Mr. Onslow

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what effect the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act has had upon the provision of training facilities for the Armed Services; and what is his estimate of the additional annual cost involved as a consequence of the legislation.

Mr. Hayhoe

Health and safety matters are of continuous concern to the Ministry of Defence for training facilities as much as all other defence business, but the costs of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act attributable to training facilities cannot be identified separately.
