HC Deb 11 July 1988 vol 137 cc86-7W
43. Sir John Biggs-Davison

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if, when he next meets the chairman of London Regional Transport, he will discuss the safety and comfort of passengers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Mitchell

These matters are the responsibility of the board of LRT although the chairman keeps my right hon. Friend and me informed of major developments. In particular, we receive regular bulletins on service quality and I have asked the chairman to put forward proposals for service quality objectives comparable to those already established for British Rail.

53. Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to meet the chairman of the London Regional Transport authority.

Mr. David Mitchell

My right hon. Friend and I expect to meet the chairman of London Regional Transport at a meeting of the London Passenger Transport Group on 12 July.

56. Mr. Boateng

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has recently met the senior management of London Regional Transport to discuss safety standards.

Mr. David Mitchell

The board of London Regional Transport is statutorily responsible for safety; but it keeps my right hon. Friend informed.

58. Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he last met the senior management of London Regional Transport; and what subjects where discussed.

Mr. David Mitchell

I met the board of London Regional Transport on 5 May to discuss issues of current concern.
