Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many spot checks have been conducted by the Health and Safety Executive in each of the last 10 years.
Information on the number of proactive inspections carried out from 2011/12 is published in the Health and Safety Executive’s Annual Reports and Accounts which can be found here. HSE aims to publish figures for 2019/20 during the summer. Figures on the numbers of inspections were not required as part of the Health and Safety Executive’s targets or performance measures prior to 2011/12 and were therefore not collated.
