HC Deb 13 December 1949 vol 470 c249W
83. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the number of minor railway accidents which have happened lately.

Mr. Callaghan

There has been no recent increase in the number of railway accidents but those reported to my right hon. Friend during the last two months include a number of comparatively minor cases which have received some publicity; five of them are under formal inquiry by the inspecting officers of my Department. It will be appreciated that my right hon. Friend cannot anticipate their findings, but their reports will be published in due course.
