§ 32. Mrs. Joyce Butlerasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce regulations to ensure that import documents are required to show the type of asbestos being imported so that accurate figures of the import of blue asbestos may be obtained.
§ Sir G. HoweNo: this would not be justified in current circumstances. Trade sources indicate that imports have declined in recent years and it is believed that there were no imports of blue asbestos in 1971 or 1972.
