HC Deb 02 April 1985 vol 76 cc534-5W
46. Mr. Michael Martin

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has any plans to remove young people from the protection of existing health and safety and race relations legislation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Government have no plans to remove young people from the protection of existing health and safety and race relations legislation. However, I have asked the Health and Safety Commission to review the value in present day conditions of the notification to the careers service of young people working in factories. I await their advice.
