§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Secretary of State for Employment if he has now completed the process of consultations on the final report of the Advisory Committee on Asbestos; and when he expects to make regulations to implement the recommendations of the report.
§ Mr. MayhewAlthough many submissions have already been received by the Health and Safety Commission, which invited comments on the final report of the advisory committee on asbestos, several important organisations have yet to complete their study of the report. I understand that outstanding comments are expected in the near future and that meanwhile those already received are being collated so that the Government will be able to decide as soon as possible on the most appropriate response to the report's recommendations.
