HC Deb 27 January 1930 vol 234 cc621-2W
Sir H. HOPE

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the recent fatal accident at Elliot Junction, near Arbroath, when a man crossing the railway by a public path to the public park, belonging to the town of Arbroath, was run over by a train and killed; and whether he will take steps to direct that a bridge, or some other means of safety, be adopted, in view of the fact that large numbers of women and children, during the summer months, use this means of access to the public park?

Mr. HERBERT MORRISON

I have received a report on this accident from the railway company. I have no power to require the company to provide a bridge at this crossing, but I will communicate the hon. Member's suggestion to them.
