HC Deb 26 November 1991 vol 199 c423W
Mr. Steinberg

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what safety precautions will be installed on channel tunnel trains to deal with vehicle fires.

Mr. Freeman

The safety precautions required for Eurotunnel's shuttle trains are set out in the report on non-segregation of drivers and passengers from their vehicles, published by the Channel Tunnel Safety Authority in March 1990. The report is available in the Library of the House.

Mr. Speed

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he intends to make a further statement on the channel tunnel or its associated transport infrastructure before the next meeting of the joint consultative committee in Kent.

Mr. Freeman

If any statement is made on matters of concern to my hon. Friend, I shall write to him.
