§ Mr. JamiesonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many commercial outdoor adventure centres are currently operating in England; and if he will list them by county.

§ Mr. JamiesonTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many outdoor adventure centres will be inspected by the Health and Safety Executive between 1 April 1994 and 31 March 1995; and if he will list them.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythThis is a programme being run jointly by the Health and Safety Executive and local authorities, representatives of which will visit more than 100 activity centres. As an element of surprise is integral to this programme, it would not be helpful to alert the centres concerned to the intention to visit them.
