HC Deb 10 December 1990 vol 182 c304W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 which apply to workers in residential and nursing homes.

Mr. Forth

The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 does not distinguish between workers in one type of premise or another. Therefore, all the provisions of the Act which apply to workers generally apply equally to workers in residential and nursing homes.
