Just a quick note to highlight the Daily Mirror's crucial Asbestos Timebomb Campaign. We would greatly appreciate your support by signing the campaign petition here.

You can also visit the Asbestos Timebomb site for more information.

This is a really important awareness raising campaign and I'm sure we can all express our whole-hearted support for the Mirror's 5 demands to the government, which are:

1. A £10m National Centre for Asbestos Related Disease to find better treatment, alleviate suffering and work on cures.
2. Compensation reinstated for victims of "pleural plaques" - scars on lungs caused by asbestos - after it was scrapped two years ago.
3. Fair and equal compensation for asbestos disease sufferers who can't trace the insurers of the bosses who exposed them, through a new Employers' Liability. Insurance Bureau paid for by the insurance industry.
4. A public register of all asbestos surveys carried out on public buildings.
5. The Health and Safety Executive must be given the resources to meet its own targets for inspecting asbestos removal work.

Please show your support. Thank you.
