§ Baroness Miller of Hendonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Falconer of Thoroton on 1 November (WA 181), what percentage of the replies given by those who responded to the consultation were unreservedly in favour of the physical agents directives; and what percentage were opposed. [HL1241]
§ Lord Falconer of ThorotonNo numerical analysis has been undertaken of the comments, both written and oral, on the physical agents directives, but we are not aware of any responses unreservedly supporting or opposing the directives. There has been broad recognition of the need for legislation controlling hand-arm vibration, but also much concern and comment about the detailed provisions.
