HC Deb 01 February 1985 vol 72 c329W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what action he intends to take arising from the findings of the publication entitled "Working Children" by the low pay unit.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

I am asking the Health and Safety Commission to assess the implications of the report in respect of its responsibilities. I am satisfied that in general the Health and Safety Executive and the Wages Inspectorate have adequate powers and enforce the law where breaches come to their attention.
