HC Deb 30 October 1984 vol 65 c943W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Health and Social Services if he will provide additional funds to support employers who are not carrying out their general duties under section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974; and if he is satisfied that there are sufficient resources to ensure the widespread adherence to and compliance with this legislation.

Mr. John Patten

I have no reason to believe that sufficient resources are not available to health authorities to meet their general duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
