§ Ms. WalleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport which emergency services were involved in the clean-up operation following the derailment and spillage of aviation fuel at the Isle of Grain on 28 November; what were the costs; and which body met each area of cost.
§ Mr. FreemanSeveral organisations assisted at the scene of the accident, including the fire, police and ambulance services. I understand that the three emergency services were not directly involved in the clean-up operation and that they expect to meet their own costs. It is too early to know the total costs of the clean-up operation and the apportionment of them.
