Business question from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My right hon. Friend may be aware that during yesterday’s debate on September sittings, hon. Members on both sides of the House expressed the concern that coming back in September was equivalent to visiting a building site. Will my right hon. Friend use his good offices to encourage Members of both genders on both sides of the House to take half an hour out of their busy diaries to visit a local building site, where they will see building workers doing their jobs in extremely dangerous conditions. If they did so, they might have an opportunity to speak to building workers about health and safety and they might return to the House with a more informed view of corporate responsibility and corporate manslaughter.
