HC Deb 07 May 1985 vol 78 c300W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, before placing a contract for the transport of asbestos from Faslane to Glenboig, the Property Services Agency sought the advice of Monklands district council or Glenboig community council; and if he will make a statement.

Sir George Young

No. The Property Services Agency satisfied itself that its chosen contractor would remove the asbestos waste to a suitable tip licensed for such a purpose by a local authority.
