HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 c581W
Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will request the Health and Safety Executive to undertake research into which is the least hazardous form of transport for liquefied petroleum gas (a) road or (b) rail.

Mr. John Grant

I am informed by the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission that the Health and Safety Executive is meeting employers in the industry shortly to discuss the conveyance of compressed and liquefied gases, in the light of the Spanish and Mexican accidents. The commissioning of research will depend on the outcome of these discussions.
