Evidence, please anniebach. The Aberfan disaster took place 52 years ago, and no one could be brought to justice outside of those who actually worked on those tips because the legislation was not in place to bring forward prosecutions beyond that.
The tragedy played a huge part in bringing about the Health & Safety at Work Act (HASAWA) in 1974 were Lord Robens played a huge role in placating Conservative opposition to the act becoming legislation in parliament.
That Act is the largest tribute any nation could pay to those children who lost their lives in tragedy for it has reduced workplace accidents by 86% since it came into being
All the above has been explained to you anniebach previously, but you seem to obsessed with just Robens part in the disaster when there was at that time no way he could be brought before the courts for any role he had in the tragedy.
