To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the outcome of his Department's case against Shipbreaking Industries Ltd. regarding asbestos pollution; if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hanley

My Department's case against Shipbreaking Industries Ltd. regarding asbestos pollution was rejected by the court in January 1993. The recently reported out of court settlement between my Department and Shipbreaking Industries Ltd. related to a dilapidations claim and not asbestos pollution.
