HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 c159W
48. Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will consider taking steps to improve vehicle safety measures on agricultural land.

Mr. Waddington

Ways of improving standards of health and safety in agriculture are always being considered but at present I am satisfied that the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Agriculture (Power Take-Off) Regulations 1957, the Agriculture (Field Machinery) Regulations 1962 and the Agriculture (Tractor Cabs) Regulations 1974 provide realistic equipment safety standards for vehicular machinery in use on agricultural land.
