§ 28. Mr. Skeffingtonasked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the fatal accident to two children which occurred on the railway line between Lordship Lane and Honor Oak, London, on Saturday, 2nd July.
§ Mr. BarnesThe two children gained access to the railway from a footpath by climbing over or through an iron fence reinforced with barbed wire; it was programmed for renewal this year with concrete post and chain mesh fencing of the latest type, although the existing type complies with statutory obligations, and trespass at this point had not been 45W prevalent. In view, however, of these very regrettable fatalities, the work is to be done directly the materials can be obtained.
