The steering group has representatives from the joint Union Asbestos Committee, education trade unions, local authorities and independent schools.</p><p> </p><p>In June 2014, HSE published the results of its latest inspection survey into the management of asbestos in schools covering those outside local authority control. This survey showed improved levels of awareness and a decrease in the level of enforcement action required in comparison with a survey of the same sector in 2010/11. HSE also completed a similar inspection exercise in 2010 on local authority controlled schools.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 07/07/2014 16:49:26 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
