Health And Safety Executive (Library And Information Service)

Mr. Proctor
asked the Secretary of State for Employment for what reasons the Health and Safety Executive library and information service has reduced public access time.

Mr. Peter Bottomley
The hours of public telephone access have been reduced by one hour daily — now 10.00 am to 3.00 pm—so that library staff can cope more efficiently with a growing number of written as well as telephoned enquiries. The impact of this move is being closely monitored by the Health and Safety Executive.
