Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Natascha Engel (Labour), on Thursday, 27 January 2011, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 50 members in total.


HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE'S HIDDEN KILLER CAMPAIGN

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.
