Proceeding contribution from Keith Hill (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 13 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Safety (Offences) Bill.
Health and Safety (Offences) Bill
I am afraid that I do not. We know that, for 2005-06—the last year for which separate statistics are available for Great Britain—there were 241 fatalities, some 30,000 serious accidents and approximately 100,000 less serious accidents in the workplace. That is a reminder of the need for constant vigilance and an important reinforcement of the purposes of the Bill—to ensure the appropriate punishment of those who are negligent and to deter those who would seek to cut costs by infringing health and safety arrangements.
