HC Deb 13 March 1990 vol 169 cc215-6W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on his proposals for reducing asbestos-related hazards.

Mr. Nicholls

The Government have already introduced a comprehensive range of legislation to reduce the risks from exposure to asbestos in both the work place and the environment and I have no plans at present for further legislation.
