§ Dr. Godmanasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the circumstances in which asbestos is being dumped in the Firth of Clyde off Cloch Point; what authorisation this dumping is subject to; and what steps are to be taken to seek to ensure that the material, once dumped, is not accidentally or deliberately recovered or disturbed.
§ Sir George YoungThe PSA is currently considering the deposition at this location of some dredged material which will include small quantities of saturated asbestos. Nothing, however, has yet been deposited and a full statement will be issued before any such steps are taken.
