Hills, Turner Brothers Asbestos Co* Ltd COPY TO RMB/JW/MFH lith November 1965. In case you have not already received one, I enclose, for your information, a copy of a letter which the Ministry of Labour have sent recently to Mr, Brazier in London. He is the representative of Asbestos Corporation and has been acting as a communications link between the producers' representatives, the Ministry of Labour and the Ooean Ship Owners' Joint Committee during recent difficulties with the dockers in the handling of asbestos fibre in the Port of London. While we cannot yet conclude that the dockers will agree to the measures which are proposed, we assume that, since Dr. Hunter has given them his approval, the dockers will follow his lead. Although you are not normally involved in ' shipments to London, wo appreciate that you wish to be , kept informed of developments there in case they affect \ the handling of asbestos fibres at the other ports and J the handling of fibre in the industry generally. ^ e JCTF/VFH Enc. o J.C.T.
