Whether they will review the effect of the changes in the regulations relating to safety in mines.

Baroness Hayman

The Health and Safety Commission (HSC) is carrying out a full review of existing mining health and safety legislation under Section 1(2) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Once the legislative review has been completed, HSC will evaluate the effect of the changes made as a result of the legislative review.
