§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Rother Valley (Mr. Barron) of 30 March,Official Report, column 813, for what reason the information on the average length of time of investigation into workplace deaths is not available.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythThe amount of time spent by inspectors investigating all accidents is recorded locally and principally used to monitor use of resources. It is not possible to isolate information on the use of resources solely used in the investigation of fatalities.
