Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Workplace Temperatures.
Workplace Temperatures
On the difference between the minimum and maximum, I put it on the record that 99.9 per cent. of the population know when they are too hot or too cold. The complexities that have been brought forward regarding the maximum temperature could have been used for the minimum temperature, because we now use arguments about the wind chill factor and other considerations that affect how people feel the cold. I want to put it on the record that the vast majority of us feel that the process for finding the maximum temperature and the use of scientific evidence is a process of obfuscation and avoidance of responsibility.
