§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will call for a report from the management of London Regional Transport as to why no member of the London Underground staff alerted the fire brigade to a fire at Notting Hill Gate station on 10 December.
§ Mr. David MitchellTwo incidents occurred at Notting Hill Gate station on 10 December 1987, neither of which was reportable to the Department. In the first a train arrived at the station with a dragging brake. The passengers were detrained and the train departed empty. A member of the public had meanwhile telephoned the fire brigade, which arrived but was not required. In the second a passenger reported smoke at the station but nothing was found and the brigade was not called.
