To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to improve health protection and safety conditions in the workplace.

95. Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what proposals he has to improve health protection and safety conditions in the workplace.

Mr. Nicholls

The Health and Safety Commission's "Plan of Work for 1989–90 and Beyond" published in May 1989 set out the Commission's priorities for improving health and safety at work. As my right hon. Friend announced, the Health and Safety Commissions' request for additional funding has been met in full for the third year running. This will allow for a real growth in activity.

30. Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how he plans to extend health and safety protection at work.

Mr. Nicholls

I refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave to the hon. Member for Durham, North-West (Ms. Armstrong) earlier today.
