HC Deb 26 October 1993 vol 230 c613W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent farmers and building employers are subject to legal constraint on which hours to start work in winter.

Mr. Lang

There is no employment legislation governing the times when adult workers can be employed in the farming and building sectors. Environmental protection legislation concerning pollution and noise levels and health and safety at work legislation may, however, have a bearing on how early particular work can start.
