§ Mr. ChidgeyTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what action he plans to take in response to the findings on the cause of the freight train derailment at Bexley on 4 February. [10563]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonThe Health and Safety Executive's independent technical investigation into the cause of the derailment at Bexley on 4 February is continuing and its findings will be made public in due course. Until HSE has completed its inquiries, it would be premature to speculate as to the cause. In the meantime, should HSE through its inquiries become aware of any safety-related issues that it considers should be disseminated to relevant parts of the railway industry, it will not hesitate to do so.
