Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether the closed circuit television on the northbound Victoria Line platform at Oxford Circus assisted in detecting the station fire.

I understand that the fire was detected without the assistance of the closed circuit television system.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Transport who first detected the fire at Oxford Circus station.

I understand from London Regional Transport that a passenger leaving the station reported the fire to a station inspector at the ticket barrier at about 10 pm on the evening of 23 November.
