I saw recently that the 'Annual Report of the Chief factory Inspector for the ypar 1956'had just bean published, and Z have received a .copy of it this morning. Zt la published by the Stationary Office and 1 think that you' would find It of advantage to have a oopy In your possession. There Is a chapter (beginning on page 141) about the Asbestos Regulations, and a statement at the top of page 142 which begins "One very haxardous process, to whloh the Regulations do not always apply, Is ths removal of old heat Insulation lagging" We shall have to be ready to combat the contents of that particular paragraph by showing that our experience has Improved, as mentioned In ay letter to the Ministry, and that It Is not correot to raftr to this as a vary hasardous procsss.
