HC Deb 07 July 1969 vol 786 cc187-8W
Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Minister of Transport if he will make a statement on the results of the preliminary inquiry into the rail accident at Marylebone Station on Monday, 30th June.

Mr. Marsh

An Inspecting Officer of Railways visited the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred. From the information he was able to give, which included the results of a test of the brakes which had shown that they were functioning normally, I decided that it was unnecessary for me to order a public inquiry.

The Railways Board is of course holding a domestic inquiry.
