Police Powers of Entry
artdoc May=1991
House of Commons written answer 19.12.90 Col.200
Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home
Department what plans he has to extend police powers of entry
into private premises to conduct searches if it is believed that
explosives or ammunition are being kept there.

Mr. Peter Lloyd: My right hon. Friend is discussing with
my right hon. Friend the Secret,,try of State for Employment and
with the director of tile Health and Safety Commission new draft
regulations under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
in order to improve controls over the storage of explosives on
private premises. We are considering the designation of a small
number of police officers as inspectors under the 1974 Act. They
will attract, under section 20 of the Act, those powers which are
necessary for them to fulfil their duties under the proposed
Control of Explosives Regulations.

Our work is only possible with your support.
