My oil shed walls are clad with asbestos cement panels that probably
date from the 60s and are past their best, but the angle iron frame that
they're attached to is sound. What are the options for external panels
that will: survive a bit of weather, not look too awful, and deter scroats?

Check eBay for steel roofing panels. They work fine on walls too.

I would get rid of asbestos totally, they get flaky and deadly with cancer risk.

That's what I want to do and why I'm asking what the options are.
From what I've read, asbestos cement panels are not a big problem
providing you treat them with a bit of respect and dispose sensibly.

You can now buy glass fibre reinforced cement sheet, much like asbestos cement. I don't have experience with it.
