Prof Beddington’s team not only tiptoed round the scientific evidence but played as a trump card the fact that white asbestos is classified by the World Health Organisation as a “Class 1 carcinogenâ€. What they omitted to say, of course, is that the same list includes such things as alcohol, leather, nickel and sunshine. Do we expect bans on sunbathing and the nickel coins in our pockets? Of course not, because the risks they pose depend entirely on the nature of exposure. The same applies to white asbestos encapsulated in cement – 90 per cent of all asbestos products – the risk from which even the Government itself once rightly recognised as “virtually zeroâ€. Well done, Sir John. Let the scams continue.

Government’s own advisers, has become the basis for rackets costing hundreds of millions of pounds a year in bogus insurance claims and fraudulent contractors’ charges for work which is unnecessary.

And I have been on plenty of jobs were this is the case, and others were I have been told just shut the feck up and skim it .
