A PENSIONER who suffers from a rare cancer linked to asbestos has called for all political parties to pledge to remove the fibre from public buildings. Tam Mooney says he “cannot believe” it can still be found in locations such as schools and has demanded “no risks” are taken to protect children’s future. It comes amid warnings from charity campaigners that Scotland faces a “health time bomb” if asbestos is not removed from buildings as soon as possible. The 72-year-old has been receiving treatment for mesothelioma for nearly four years after being exposed to asbestos during two decades on Glasgow’s shipyards.
