Thousands of employees working at the lorry factory in West Lothian that is now the centre of a cancer scare.

Four former employees have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, the cancer linked to asbestos.  They are pursuing compensation. 

Other Bathgate workers are being encouraged to have health checks to ensure that they are clear of symptoms.

One of those diagnosed was not even doing heavy industrial work.  She was a secretary in the company.  She remembers seeing dust coming from the machinery and the plant but she never thought there was anything sinister about the dust.  Certainly the company never divulged the risks.
