HC Deb 17 March 1980 vol 981 c21W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what work he anticipated would be carried out by the Advisory Committee on Asbestos after October 1979.

Mr. Mayhew

The Advisory Committee on Asbestos completed its work and ceased to exist with the publication of its final report by the Health and Safety Commission on 24 October 1979. Comments on its contents were invited and these are now being collated so that the commission and Ministers can decide on appropriate future action.
