§ Mr. John Grantasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will estimate the effects in 1982–83 of public expenditure reductions on the Health and Safety Commission and Executive in respect of their statutory obligations to enforce the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act.
§ Mr. WaddingtonI have not yet had from the Commission the details of how it intends to implement the latest reductions, but I believe that the Commission and the Executive will have sufficient resources in 1982–83 to continue to meet their statutory obligations.
