HC Deb 19 October 1998 vol 317 c1042W
Sir Richard Body

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what response his Department has made to the reports of(a) the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Dublin) 1997 and (b) the Bilbao European Agency for Health and Safety at Work 1997; and if he will deposit in the Library a list of all programmes initiated as a result of (a) and (b).

Mr. Ian McCartney

The various reports of the Dublin Foundation do not require a formal Government response, but are used by the Department to inform its policies. Details of the Foundation's activities are provided on its internet website at http://www.eurofound.ie. Matters concerning the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work are largely a matter for the Health and Safety Executive, which is sponsored by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions.
