HC Deb 29 March 1990 vol 170 c307W
33. Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he last met the chairman of Northern Ireland Railways; and what matters were discussed.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

I met the chairman on 2 March 1990 at the scene of the level crossing accident at Slaght, near Ballymena, Co. Antrim. We viewed the damage to the rolling stock and track and discussed steps necessary to set up an inquiry into the accident and the arrangements to visit the local hospital to see those who had been injured.
