Correspondence and papers re testimony submitted to the HSC Advisory Committee on Asbestos (Simpson Committee), its conclusions, and T&N's reaction. Includes:

  • typescript summary 'Advisory Committee on Asbestos' (n.d. and of unidentified provenance)
  • photocopy of the final report of the committee, 'Asbestos: volume 1: final report of the advisory committee' (1979)
  • correspondence about the activities and reports of the Simpson Committee, 1976-1979, and press reports 1976

Also contained in this aggregation was a photocopy of 'Selected written evidence submitted to the Advisory Committee on Asbestos 1976-77' (1977). This was disposed of as it contained no annotations. A copy of the original text can be consulted at http://atom.lib.strath.ac.uk/oeda-selected-written-evidence-submitted-to-the-advisory-committee-on-asbestos-1976-77

The Simpson Committee effectively reviewed the 1969 Asbestos Regulations. However, it had only the power to make recommendations, not to pass regulations or laws.
