§ Mr. Coxasked the Paymaster General what (a) information and (b) medical tests are available for people working in power stations in the United Kingdom who come into contact with asbestos.
§ Mr. TrippierIf power station workers are liable to come into contact with asbestos, they should be provided with adequate information on the health risks involved and the precautions they should take. The Asbestos (Licensing) Regulations 1983 require that those who intend to work with asbestos insulating and coating be medically examined before they start work and at two-year intervals while they are engaged on such work.
