Response — verbatim from government
●Health and Safety Executive
The proposal for an accredited registration scheme was supported by 70% of stakeholders. The Government accepts this recommendation in principal and has asked HSE to consult further with stakeholders on how such a scheme could be implemented, looking at various options from a formal accreditation scheme operated by a third party through to a charter of standards. (Cm. 7849, para 27)

How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
