newnanny, in regard to your post @15:30 today, if Britain reduces the effectiveness of legislation such as workplace safety then the EU and other advanced trading Blocs or Nations will not be approving trading agreements with the United Kindom.
Those that do allow British imports to there markets will impose very high tariffs to eliminate any benefit British exporters will gain from reduced or eliminated Industrial safety legislation.
David Cameron reduced some regulations on product safety in manufacturing on taking up majority government 2014, and also cut finance to the Health & Safety Executive and Commission which are the bodies responsible for the imposition of workplace and product safety in Britain.
The Grenfell Tower inquiry is yet to fully report, but what has become known from the evidence so far taken would be that the downgrading of product manufacturing safety and inspection was a very substantial factor in bringing the disaster about.
As stated, the above were the results of weakening the Health & Safety at Work Act and it's encompassing legislation.
Does anybody wish to witness more of the same?
