HC Deb 28 July 1998 vol 317 c180W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what guidance his Department issues to those constructing buildings for which it is responsible on the use of materials containing asbestos. [52303]

Mr. Ron Davies

The construction industry no longer uses asbestos because safe alternatives are available.

When asbestos has to be removed from a building, the dismantling, removal from site and ensuring the building is free of all asbestos dust, is strictly controlled by Health and Safety Executive regulations.
