HC Deb 20 June 1932 vol 267 c772
Mr. HANNON

(by Private Notice) asked the Minister of Transport whether he can make a statement on the accident to a train travelling from Crewe to Birmingham which took place on the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at Great Bridgeford on Friday night in which one Birmingham citizen lost his life and several were seriously injured?

Mr. PYBUS

I am not in a position to make any statement with regard to this regrettable accident, except that I have appointed the Chief Inspecting Officer of Railways to hold an inquiry into the circumstances and to report thereon.

Mr. HANNON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the inquiry will take place?

Mr. PYBUS

It is to be opened on Wednesday next.
