HC Deb 11 April 1983 vol 40 c355W
Mr. Flannery

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what information he has as to the number of premises in 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982, respectively, that were not registered with the factory inspectorate nationally and in south Yorkshire and Humberside which should have so registered.

Mr. Gummer

Precise information is not available about the number of premises which are not registered with the factory inspectorate. New businesses come to the notice of the factory inspectorate on a continuing basis. Inspectors allocate time in their planned programme of work to identify and inspect such premises.
