To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make a statement on the safety aspects relating to potentially dangerous loads of the accident on the M3 near Basingstoke on 7 March. [114371]

Mr. Hill

[holding answer 13 March 2000]: The police and HSE are currently investigating this serious incident which occurred near Junction 7 on the M3 on 7 March and involved a lorry carrying butane gas cylinders. I will consider any general implications for amendments to safety regulation once that investigation has been reported.
