HC Deb 08 February 1988 vol 127 c74W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will give the number of(a) accidents, (b) serious injuries and (c) deaths arising at the workplace for each year since 1975.

Mr. Nicholls

I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Oldham, West (Mr. Meacher)Official Report 16 December 1987, at column 578.

Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he has any information on the breakdown of accidents at work in small companies since 1975.

Mr. Nicholls

I regret that the information requested is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. However, some details on this can be found in the publication "Health and Safety Statistics 1984–85", copies of which were placed in the Library.
