HC Deb 23 February 1944 vol 397 c822
39. Mr. Granville

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport if he can now make a statement on the findings of the inquiry into the causes of the railway accident at Ilford on 16th January.

Mr. Noel-Baker

No, Sir, I regret that the Report on the railway accident at Ilford is still in course of preparation. It will be issued as soon as possible.

Mr. Granville

Can the hon. Gentleman give any indication when the Report is likely to be received by his Department, and when he will be able to make a statement?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I wish I could. Apart from technical difficulties, our officers often have to wait until injured passengers have recovered.

Mr. Granville

In the near future?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I hope so.
