Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Workplace Temperatures.


Workplace Temperatures

I understand my hon. Friend's concern about the HSE entirely. Without a legal maximum temperature, however, the HSE is working on the basis of what is reasonable, and is it not more difficult to prosecute against something that is unreasonable than it is to prosecute against an absolute, such as a legal maximum temperature?
