Merseyside Asbestos Victims Call For Continued Ban On The Importation Of Asbestos ASBESTOS STILL ALIVE AND KILLING Victims of asbestos met in Liverpool at the weekend to mark the 20th Anniversary of the UK asbestos ban on the same day Parliament decided to delay Brexit.
" I am astonished that the government failed to respond to the call to stop any asbestos imports into the UK. I don’t think there is a member of parliament or indeed anyone who would want to see this deadly material re-introduced into the UK and set forth another era of devastating deaths for future generations which would follow.”
* Editor's Note: Asbestos was found in children's make-up illegally imported from the USA, and being sold in the UK.
