Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what regulations are in operation in Great Britain regarding the import of asbestos; and what method is used to enforce such regulations.

There are no regulations controlling imports of asbestos. The use of asbestos at work is controlled under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and associated legislation including, in particular, the Asbestos Regulations 1969.
