§ 23. Harry CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what discussions he has had with the First Secretary about workers' safety at Port Talbot steelworks. [20060]
§ Mr. Paul MurphyI regularly meet the First Secretary to discuss a wide range of issues, including the steel industry in Wales.
859WA single, combined investigation led by the Health and Safety Executive and also involving the police and Corus is currently under way. This combined approach will greatly reduce the pressure on those giving evidence, as their accounts will be taken by just one investigator.
Corus has stated that the remainder of the Port Talbot plant is operating normally.
