To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what actions her Department is taking to comply with the requirements of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002; whether she has made an estimate of the cost of compliance; and if she will make a statement. [118852]

The Scotland Office, together with the Scottish Executive, has been complying with the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 for buildings occupied jointly.
