HC Deb 23 January 1980 vol 977 c242W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many accidents were reported at work in Dundee in each of the past five years; and in how many cases these accidents were fatal.

Mr. Mayhew

I regret figures of reported accidents at work are not separately available for Dundee and could not be ascertained without disproportionate cost.

Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many prosecutions have taken place under section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 in Dundee; and what the results of the prosecutions were.

Mr. Mayhew

No prosecutions under section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 have been initiated by inspectors of the Health and Safety Executive in Dundee.

I regret that details of prosecutions initiated by local authority inspectors are not available.
