HC Deb 07 May 1998 vol 311 c438W
Mr. Efford

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessment he has made of the benefits of the automatic train protection system. [40905]

Ms Glenda Jackson

My right hon. Friend the Minister for Transport has made it clear to the Chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that he should produce any formal proposals that he considers necessary on train protection systems. I understand that HSE officials are working on such proposals with a view to publication in the near future.
