International Ban On Asbestos

EDM number 227 in 2005-06, proposed by Michael Clapham on 25/05/2005.

That this House notes that the report from the Interim Chemical Review Committee, a part of the United Nations Environmental Programme, recommended that all forms of asbestos should be subject to strict international trade controls to eliminate the risk associated with the material; and calls on the UK Government to use its presidency of the G8 and the EU to take the lead in pressing for a worldwide ban on all forms of asbestos, because death and disability caused by exposure to these fatal fibres in the developing world increases world poverty.

This motion has been signed by a total of 92 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
