HC Deb 02 December 1987 vol 123 cc578-9W
Mr. Bell

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will consider the setting up of joint committees at county level to monitor the transportation of hazardous goods and materials in areas where they are loaded or unloaded, consisting of police, fire, ambulance and local authority services, together with employers and trade unions; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We would welcome and support any initiatives at county level which might usefully draw on the experience of the liaison panel already in existence in Cleveland.
