HC Deb 24 February 1986 vol 92 c450W
Mr. Michie

asked the Paymaster General what instructions the Health and Safety Executive has given to its inspectors on the passing to safety representatives of copies of letters sent to employers following a visit; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

The Health and Safety Commission has given guidance to enforcing authorities on the provision of information by inspectors and other staff to employees or their representatives. The principle followed is that safety representatives should have access to appropriate information which will enable them to carry out their functions.
