Proceeding contribution from Anthony Steen (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Regulation.


Government Regulation

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the Health and Safety Executive now has some 9,000 officials? They have recommended that the hairbrushes should be withdrawn from the Members’ Cloakroom on the basis that we may catch nits or AIDS. They are also of the view that Members should not use kettles in case we burn ourselves, so we all now have hot-water systems. Is my right hon. Friend aware of these ridiculous attitudes, which mean that the HSE affects us even here?
