HC Deb 22 October 1945 vol 414 c1660
6. Mr. Sparks

asked the Minister of War Transport whether he will state the number of accidents, fatal and otherwise, separately, to railwaymen employed by all railway companies in Great Britain, together with their respective grades, for each year from 1938 to 1944 and for the first nine months of 1945.

Mr. Barnes

The information sought will take some to collect, but I shall let my hon. Friend have it as soon as practicable.

Lieut.-Colonel Dower

Is it not possible on suitable occasions for instructions to be given in writing, and would not this lead to a reduction in the number of accidents?

Mr. Barnes

I should like to ask my hon. and gallant Friend to put that question down.
