Thank you Douglas McAllister MP🌹 for pledging your support for asbestos victims following the APPG meeting on Occupational Health in the House of Commons arranged by APPG on OSH and Asbestos Victims Support Group Forum UK clydebankpost.co.uk/news/24893986.…

“I took a moment to drop in on an event for charities involved in supporting the victims of mesothelioma – cancer linked to exposure to asbestos. This topic is very personal to me because I lost my own dear father, aged 69, to mesothelioma”- John Glen MP salisburyjournal.co.uk/yoursay/249017…



Yesterday I chaired a public hearing into the legacy of Cape — once one of the world’s largest asbestos manufacturers, now owned by @Altrad_Services. Thank you to my fellow panel members Christine Jardine 🔶, Rt Hon John Glen MP, Frances O'Grady, Lord Henry KC and Professor Baroness Finlay.


A special thanks to all those who provided evidence and powerful witness testimonies. These will inform a report which the APPG on OSH will shortly be publishing, including our recommendations to government.



Today the APPG on Occupational Safety & Health launches an important report. Covered here in The Times and The Sunday Times: we call on government to ban Altrad UK, Ireland & Nordics from public contracts until it makes right its inherited asbestos legacy.
