§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he intends to extend safety case evaluations applied to the channel tunnel to other forms of public transport. [39394]
§ Mr. NorrisThe safety case approach is already used where appropriate in a number of industries, for example rail and aviation. I will consider the extension of the safety case approach where I am satisfied that this is an appropriate way to maintain and improve safety standards for the transport mode concerned.
