HC Deb 22 March 1982 vol 20 cc251-2W
Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what prosecutions, if any, have resulted under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act, resulting from the improper handling or use of the chemical polychlorinated biphenyl.

Mr. Waddington

From the records available it is not possible to separate prosecutions resulting from the improper handling or use of the chemical polychlorinated biphenyl from those involving other toxic substances without a disproportionate use of resources.
