Part of Laurie Flynn papers on the asbestos industry

Flynn's twin interest in the South African mining industry and in international corporations' conduct in Southern Africa dates back to his period with Granada Television's current affairs programme World in Action, 1979-1990.

This series reflects the broad range of Flynn's network including its legal dimension.
