HC Deb 24 October 1983 vol 47 c48W
Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will ensure effective liaison between his Department and the factory inspectorate to ensure that safety and health are closely monitored for all entrants into youth training schemes.

Mr. Gummer

Close liaison between the Manpower Services Commission and Health and Safety Executive area offices is well established. HSE Inspectors will take individual YTS schemes fully into account in the course of normal inspection of new and existing workplaces and in the investigation of accidents and complaints. Inspectors are also participating in the training of MSC YTS officials and certain providers of training.
