§ Mr. Pawseyasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish in the Official Report a copy of his letter 25W to the hon. Member for Rugby and Kenilworth dated 4 February, together with the annexed statement by his Department's railway inspectorate, concerning the circumstances surrounding the railway accident at Rugby on 9 December 1984.
§ Mr. David MitchellI share to the full my hon. Friend's concern that there should be made available a simple statement of the facts about such a railway accident as occurred at Rugby on 9 December 1984. I am placing in the Library of the House a copy of the letter my right hon. Friend wrote to my hon. Friend together with a statement of the facts about the accident at Rugby, and we propose to discuss with the chairman of the British Railways Board whether some simpler way can be found of conveying the facts that are ascertained by the board's own inquiries in those cases where a formal inquiry by one of our railway inspectors has not been ordered.
