asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many workplaces came under the jurisdiction of the Health and Safety Executive; what percentage have been visited by health and safety inspectors; what percentage of those visited were issued with improvement or prohibition notices; what percentage of those issued with notices responded satisfactorily; what percentage were monitored, and in what way, so as to assess the level of the response; and if in each case he will distinguish between (a) Crown and (b) non-Crown work places.

I shall reply to the right hon. Member as soon as possible.
