§ 57. Mr. Kinnockasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek to raise at the United Nations Human Rights Commission the question of the treatment of African workers employed by Charter Consolidated Limited which has resulted in the contraction of chronic asbestosis by 1,309 such workers in the last five years.
§ Mr. GodberNo. I understand that the management of Charter Consolidated Limited are already well aware of the allegations which have been made and I do not consider that reference to the Human Rights Commission would necessarily prove helpful in a case of this nature.
