HC Deb 01 May 1984 vol 59 c65W
13. Mr. Maxton

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will increase the number of factory inspectors in post.

Mr.Gummer

Decisions on the staffing of the Factory Inspectorate are a matter for the Health and Safety Executive. I am advised that the executive is making arrangements to recruit, in the near future, up to 25 general factory inspectors.
