yeah, i would hardly consider asbestos to be "toxic" in the sense that it is dangerous to dispose of.
there is always a good reason why this stuff happens, and that reason is the almighty dollar (pound?). you can bet that officials on both sides of the pond knew about it, but enough palms were greased or loopholes found to make it acceptable.
sorry, i'm often cynical... can't help it.
