§ Mr. GaleTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many incidents of fire have been reported, within the Channel tunnel site, during the present period of construction.
§ Mr. NichollsNo fires have been reported to the Health and Safety Executive under the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) since 1 April 1987. Although I understand the Kent fire brigade has been called to deal with some fire-related incidents on a number of occasions, none was sufficiently serious to report to the HSE.
