HC Deb 26 November 1985 vol 87 c523W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how long the central repository for Inland Revenue records at Bradford has not been able to process requests to see documents; and how long this is likely to continue.

Mr. Moore

It has not been possible to obtain files and records from the Inland Revenue repository at Bradford for 12 months because of the presence of a dangerously high level of asbestos particles. This is likely to continue for another 11 months.
