HC Deb 23 May 1980 vol 985 c440W
Mr. Arthur Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if, as part of his policy of improving the health and safety at work of pregnant women he will, when informing employers of their new statutory obligations under the Employment Bill to pay wages to women attending ante-natal clinics, draw to their attention the desirability of taking further measures to promote the health of pregnant women, similar to the schemes in operation at Strathleven bonded warehouses, and Park Cakes, Oldham.

Mr. Mayhew
