HC Deb 27 October 1976 vol 918 cc256-7W
70. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport when he proposes to implement the recommendations of the Eltham disaster inquiry at Ilford electric train depot as far as it affects the supervision of train drivers signing on for duty.

Mr. Horam

The recommendation in the Eltham accident inquiry report in respect of the control of drivers booking on by telephone was accepted by the British Railways Board in 1973. Its implementation at any particular depot is a matter of day-to-day management and as such the responsibility of the Railways Board.
