Decision Of The Eu Technical Committee On White Asbestos
EDM number 1088 in 1997-98, proposed by Michael Clapham on 16/03/1998.
That this House is disappointed by the decision of the EU Technical Committee of Experts that there is insufficient evidence to decide that health risks from exposure to substitutes is less than that posed by white asbestos, when world wide research into the health effects of white asbestos has not identified a safe threshold level of exposure and current EU legislation classifies it as category 1 carcinogen; calls on the HSC to marshal the information; and urges the Government to proceed on the basis of the robust evidence that has already persuaded seven European countries to ban white asbestos.
This motion has been signed by a total of 115 MPs.
