I thank the Minister for his reply. I hope the review will commence soon. I am glad that no one was injured in the fire. I ask the review to include information on the numbers of local people who required medical attention because of breathing difficulties. I spoke to people who said the smoke had affected them.
I note that asbestos was being stored at the facility. I am concerned about the effects of melting asbestos which is highly toxic. I am pleased the Minister of State will carry out a review to consider the location of such plants in residential areas.
