HC Deb 24 January 1986 vol 90 c345W
Mr. Richard Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, pursuant to his statement of 21 January, he will now publish the list of hospitals whose kitchen conditions are such as would render them liable to prosecution but for Crown immunity; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hayhoe

The Institution of Environmental Health Officers has reported that, in the year to March 1985, 97 hospitals visited were considered by its members to have warranted prosecution under the food hygiene legislation, were it not for Crown immunity. The institution has not been able to provide us with the names of the hospitals concerned.
