asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the main recommendations of Fire Service Circular 30/1976 and place a copy of the circular in the Library.

Dr. Summerskill

Fire Service Circular No. 30 /1976 provides interim guidance to fire authorities about the hazards posed by asbestos equipment used for fire fighting and the operational situations in which firemen may be exposed to asbestos, together with the precautions which may be necessary. The guidance was prepared in consultation with the
