§ Mr. GristTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he is able to announce the outcome of the investigations he commissioned into the accident to a maintenance gantry on the Severn bridge on 4 September 1990.
§ Mr. ChopeI am publishing the report of the investigations today and am placing a copy in the Library. I accept the broad thrust of all the recommendations in the 141W report. As the report itself recognises, further work will be necessary before deciding exactly how certain of the recommendations are to be pursued; this work is already under way.
