HC Deb 12 November 1985 vol 86 c138W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Paymaster General what is the maximum permitted level of airborne asbestos in public open areas adjacent to sites from where it is being removed.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

There is no permitted maximum level. Persons who conduct such work are required to ensure that levels of airborne asbestos are kept to the lowest level that is reasonably practicable.
