Beckett was one of Nancy Tait's earliest supporters in her quest to find answers regarding the death of her husband and regarding the health risks associated with asbestos.

• list of OEDA meetings 1993-1998
• occasionally also agendas of MC meetings
• some correspondence and papers for MC meetings 1994

OEDA was set up to broaden and develop the work of SPAID. It was felt that this was necessary since, as governed by SPAID's trust deed, the organisation under Nancy Tait did not provide the structure and organisational procedures required for a limited liability association and by the London Borough Grants Unit (LBGU), the organisation's main source of funding. An executive director for OEDA was appointed in January 1994 but terminated at the end of March.
