TUC Parliamentary Day On Asbestos

EDM number 797 in 1997-98, proposed by Michael Clapham on 16/02/1998.

That this House welcomes the seminar organised by the TUC on 17th February to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos and wishes their campaign well; expresses its continuing concern that there are 11 deaths each day arising from exposure to asbestos; notes the incontrovertible evidence of the Health and Safety Executive that all forms of asbestos including white asbestos are potentially fatal; reaffirms its support for a ban on the importation of asbestos and products containing asbestos into the United Kingdom and EU; and urges Government action to protect employees and the public from asbestos already in use by ensuring that legislation is properly enforced.

This motion has been signed by a total of 107 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
