To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if interim recommendations relevant to civil protection matters will be published about the Paddington crash in advance of the full report being published. [96541]

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions has commissioned inquiries into the crash. I shall be looking very carefully at any lessons for the wider civil protection response which may be identified in those inquiries.
