§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will seek to bring the Palace of Westminister within the Factory and Health and Safety Acts.
§ Mr. NichollsNo, I have no such proposals. The authorities of the Palace seek to ensure that the provisions of the Acts are met wherever possible. The Health and Safety Executive has arranged with the Palace authorities for visits to be made to give advice on health and safety matters. Visits may be made on the initiative of either the HSE or the Palace authorities.
