PROTECTING WORKERS FROM ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES

Motion Text

That this House notes that over 2,500 people died from asbestos-related diseases in 2009; further notes that the European Commission has told the UK to change laws that exempt some maintenance and repair activities from the EU Directive protecting workers from asbestos; and calls on the Government immediately to review these exemptions and give UK workers the level of protection from asbestos they deserve.
