HC Deb 22 March 1989 vol 149 c591W
Mr. Michael Martin

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he expects to receive the results of the railway inspectorate's report on the Springburn to Bellgrove railway line crash; and if he will be making a statement.

Mr. Portillo

The inquiry into the Bellgrove accident is to be held on 19–21 April at the Merchants house of Glasgow, 7 West George street, Glasgow. The chief inspecting officer of railways will be presenting his report to me at the earliest opportunity. I cannot, at this time, give any indication when that will be.
