HC Deb 20 January 1997 vol 288 cc485-6W

Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what research he has commissioned to be carried out into the structural safety of the Jubilee line extension to the London underground system during its construction, and by which organisations. [11265]

Mr. Bowis

This is a responsibility of London Transport, for which safety is the top priority. I understand that the Jubilee line extension construction safety record is commendable by the standards of the construction industry nationally.
