ARMLEY ASBESTOS DRAMA 'DUST' AND ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASES 14.07.2009
Battle, John
That this House congratulates the playwright Kenneth Yates, Alex Chisholm the Director and the cast of Dust, a dramatisation at the West Yorkshire Playhouse of June Hancock's legal struggle to prove that the JW Roberts' asbestos factory in Armley caused asbestos pollution in the neighbourhood, leaving a deadly local legacy of hundreds of mesothelioma victims; notes that the drama using the trial transcripts, testimonies and interviews brilliantly captures a story that is still not played out; and urges the Department of Health to devote more research resources to tackling mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.
