Truck plant cancer timebomb

Former workers at the British Leyland plant in Bathgate are urged to have health checks because four workers have been diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Workers said they were shocked to find out they may have developed the disease while working at the former truck, tractor and van assembly factory, which employed more than 6000 people before it closed in 1986.

It could lead to a flood of compensation claims from ex-British Leyland staff and their families. It is understood lawyers are looking for around £50,000 in compensation for each sufferer.
