HC Deb 22 July 1946 vol 425 c289W
82. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport in view of recent railway accidents, what is being done to examine the conditions of the permanent ways and rolling stock and to put and keep both in a condition which will obviate accidents.

Mr. Barnes

The permanent way and tolling stock is under continual examination, and inquiries into recent accidents do not indicate any diminution in the high previous standards of safety or that there is any general cause of such accidents as occur.
