Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to update the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to reflect technological changes, with particular reference to film and television productions.

There are no plans at this time to update the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to reflect technological changes. Owing to its goal-setting nature the Act, supported by its associated regulations, continues to provide an effective framework for securing the health and safety of those at work.
