§ Mr. Michael J. MartinTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions he has had with British Rail concerning the improvement of the design of railway stations with the aim of reducing injury in the event of a terrorist bomb.
§ Mr. FreemanMy right hon. and learned Friend met the chairman of British Rail and London Transport and the chief constable of the British Transport police on 3 March to discuss security arrangements for BR and London Underground. The design of railway stations is primarily a matter for British Rail. I understand that BR has produced a code of practice for its architects, on future station design changes and security implications.
