‘None of this is new’ says Jeremy Corbyn, as he urges the government to sort out the UK’s problem with asbestos

A Westminster Hall debate today took place to discuss the removal of asbestos in workplaces across the UK. The UK remains at the tail-end of countries resolving the issue with the lethal material that causes many deaths.

Ian Lavery noted how terrible asbestos-related cancer is, and Jeremy Corbyn urged the government to act fast, saying there is no reason for the UK o be an outlier in the issue as it’s ‘not new’
