§ Mr. Gordon Brownasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much asbestos to be removed from Faslane is in the loch itself; and whether any is situated in the area where it is intended to pile drive for the new jetty.
§ Sir George YoungA recent survey has found traces of asbestos on the bed of the loch where some of the new jetties are to be built and consideration is now being given to the further corrective action, if any, required to deal with such waste. The present contract to decontaminate part of the site does not extend to the loch.
