§ Mr. Thorneasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he can give any information in connection with two boys who were killed at a level crossing on 3rd July, in Lincolnshire; why were the crossing gates not closed a few minutes before the train was due; and what action he intends taking to prevent another accident at the same crossing?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerI have received a report about this regrettable accident, and the circumstances are being investigated. When these inquiries are complete, T will inform my hon. Friend of the result. I would like to express my deep sympathy with the relatives of the two children who lost their lives.
