HC Deb 29 January 1986 vol 90 c516W
Mr. Janner

asked the Paymaster General what plans he has to introduce legislation to strengthen section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act; and in what respect.

Mr. Trippier

Legislation to amend section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act will be introduced as soon as the parliamentary timetable permits. This will take account of comments received on the proposals set out in the Health and Safety Commission's consultative document issued in August 1984.

Mr. Meacher

asked the Paymaster General if he will publish the views of the member of the Health and Safety at Work Executive responsible for operation of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 in the National Health Service on the lessons learnt from the seven years' experience of Crown notice operation.

Mr. Trippier

The Health and Safety Commission has recently reviewed standards of health and safety in Crown premises. I am expecting its advice shortly.
