HC Deb 28 July 1937 vol 326 c3123W
Mr. Kelly

asked the Minister of Transport whether his attention has been called to the excessive delay before the breakdown gang reached the scene of the railway accident at Swanley on 27th June, which meant that two-and-a-half hours elapsed before the breakdown gang arrived; and will steps be taken for sufficient appliances to be available so that passengers may be quickly released?

Mr. Burgin

I am awaiting my Inspecting Officer's report which, I am informed, will be ready at an early date.
