Just a note to say I found the report for progress against Lofstedt after some searching on the DWP website. If your interested it is here http://www.dwp.gov.uk/do...t-report-one-year-on.pdf .
Very little of any significant interest. I am particularly disappointed that Prof. Lostedt failed to say more on the late amendment to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill 2012-13 which aims to completely reconstruct H&S liability for brach of statutory duty.

The only area that significant to me is that he is sending out a feeler for another pay day when he returns from his year long sabbatical.
Nothing about how the OSHCR is operating????????

Currently featuring on the news page at the home page above.
Very disappointing. A puppet-like response, with no acknowledgement of the recent HSE commissioned QC report which essentially discreted (as unworkable & counter-productive) all the recommendations for legal reform.
Seems the current Government is set on reform despite best advice.

Tony, those Hansard pages (your second link) is great reading. Some real gems there!
I particularly enjoyed 14 Jan 2013 : Column GC165 towards the end, and later on (after 6:31)
"the basis for this change in the law being a perception of a set of circumstances which the Health and Safety Executive argues does not exist, or at least, if it does, there is no evidence that it exists"
Brilliant! My faith in the Upper House is somewhat restored!

The Bill is on Report stage later this month. The clause remains. Hopefully there will be sufficient votes to remove it. In my opinion this sets back H&S 100 years.
