HC Deb 06 May 2003 vol 404 cc546-7W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will ask the Health and Safety Executive to examine the operation of Crabbe Yard, Wadborough, Worcestershire. [109858]

Mr. Nicholas Brown

The HSE has procedures to investigate specific concerns about work related health and safety matters in proportion to the seriousness of the issue.

The HSE visited the site at Crabbe Yard, Wadborough, on two occasions during 2000. Following the visits an improvement notice was issued and subsequently complied with.

HSE has not visited the site since 3 August 2000.

If the hon. Member has new concerns about Crabbe Yard he should raise them, in the first instance, with the HSE, an independent government agency.
