HC Deb 22 January 1986 vol 90 c202W
Mr. Madden

asked the Paymaster General what is his policy towards the conclusion of agreements between the Health and Safety Executive and certain companies permitting self-regulation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

The possibility of making arrangements, in the appropriate cases, for health and safety assurance was put forward for discussion by the Health and Safety Commission in its "Plan of Work" for 1985–86 and onwards. The Commission intends to consider the responses it has received to its plan later in the year.
