§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether she is satisfied that the voluntary scheme for labelling asbestos products with suitable warnings will be sufficient to provide the protection necessary.
Mr. Alan WilliamsThe effectiveness of the scheme will depend, among other things, on the extent to which users heed the warnings. I shall be seeking the cooperation of local authorities and consumer organisations in monitoring the scheme when it is in operation.
