HC Deb 05 November 1996 vol 284 c412W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what measures he has taken to prevent the naming of individual railworkers in advance of the publication of a railway accident report. [1869]

Mr. Watts

I deplore the leaking of railway accident reports and the premature and unauthorised release of the names of individual rail workers in advance of the publication of any railway accident report, and especially in advance of decisions being taken on whether any legal proceedings are to be taken as a result of any official investigation.
