HC Deb 13 January 1997 vol 288 c109W
26. Dr. Goodson-Wickes

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what consultations he has had recently with bodies responsible for rail safety. [8760]

Mr. Watts

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and I met Frank Davies, the chairman of the Health and Safety Commission, on 21 October 1996, to discuss various railway safety matters.

We have also had reports both from the Anglo-French Intergovernmental Commission and from the independent Channel Tunnel Safety Authority on the recent fire in the channel tunnel.
