§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent assessment has been made by and for his Department of the performance of the Health and Safety Executive including recent performance targets; what reports have been published on its performance; and if he will place copies of such reports not readily available in the Library.[Transferred] [76187]
§ Mr. Nicholas BrownI have been asked to reply.
Responsibility for the Health and Safety Commission and Health and Safety Executive transferred to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) on 24 July 2002.
The former Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) Public Service Agreement for 2000 set a number of targets for the Health and Safety Commission and Health and Safety 782W Executive, and these are published in the former DTLR 2002 Annual Report. Progress against these targets is reported in the DTLR Annual Report on page 166.
Further information on progress against performance targets will also be included in the DWP Autumn Performance Report to be published in November.
