Health And Safety Executive's Hidden Killer Campaign
EDM number 1359 in 2010-12, proposed by Natascha Engel on 27/01/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Industrial health and safety.
That this House notes that the Health and Safety Executive's (HSE's) Hidden Killer campaign has played an exemplary role in informing construction workers about the dangers posed by exposure to asbestos; recognises construction workers are now at greater risk of dying from asbestos disease and that 4,000 people a year die from asbestos related illness; is alarmed to learn that the latest phase of the Hidden Killer campaign has been cancelled following a 35 per cent. cut in the HSE's budget; and calls on the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to reverse this decision and reinstate this lifesaving campaign.
This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
