The Member for Hervey Bay, Ted Sorensen, says the Queensland Government should remove all asbestos identified in the region's schools.

Six schools in the Hervey Bay electorate have been listed as having presumed or confirmed asbestos on the State Government Schools Register.

In a reply to question on notice from Mr Sorensen, Education Minister Geoff Wilson says any asbestos classified as being in poor condition is programmed for removal.

Mr Sorensen says all asbestos should be removed.

"It's a little bit disappointing, his answer," he said.

"There's still asbestos in some of the schools in Hervey Bay and especially some of the old vinyl floor coverings which contain asbestos and I believe that should be removed as quickly as possible."
