HC Deb 18 February 1981 vol 999 c134W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will take steps to ensure that the health and safety at work legislation is implemented at places of work with the minimum of cost and inconvenience to employers.

Mr. Waddington

I am assured by the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that it is the policy of the commission to implement health and safety at work legislation with the minimum cost and inconvenience compatible with ensuring that employers perform their statutory duties to workers and the general public under that legislation.
