The Government continues to recognise Workers’ Memorial Day. It is a poignant reminder of why it is vital to manage workplace health and safety risks in a robust and proportionate way.
The Health and Safety Executive as the national regulator will, as in previous years, work with recognised unions and other organisations to formulate appropriate commemorative activity. Typically this includes wreath laying ceremonies at key locations and observation of a minute’s silence.

Named day
Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
