ARMLEY ASBESTOS DRAMA 'DUST' AND ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES (EDM1890)

ARMLEY ASBESTOS DRAMA 'DUST' AND ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES

EDM number 1890 in 2008-09, proposed by John Battle on 14/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Industrial health and safety.

That this House congratulates the playwright Kenneth Yates, Alex Chisholm the director and the cast of Dust, a dramatisation at the West Yorkshire Playhouse of June Hancock's legal struggle to prove that the JW Roberts' asbestos factory in Armley caused asbestos pollution in the neighbourhood, leaving a deadly local legacy of hundreds of mesothelioma victims; notes that the drama using the trial transcripts, testimonies and interviews brilliantly captures a story that is still not played out; and urges the Department of Health to devote more research resources to tackling mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
