HC Deb 16 June 1997 vol 296 c40W
Mr. Chidgey

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and Regions if the cause of the derailment of a freight train at Bexley on 4 February has been established. [3222]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The Health and Safety Executive's (HSE) independent investigation into the freight train derailment at Bexley is continuing. The investigation is complex and it would be premature to speculate as to the cause. HSE intends to make public its findings once it has completed its enquiries.
