§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many incidences of arson on the railways there were in each year since 1995, broken down by(a) train operating company and (b) line. [87629]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe Health and Safety Executive's Annual Report on the safety record of the railways in Great Britain contains details of arson on the railways. Copies are available from the House Libraries. The 2001–02 report will be published on 18 December 2002.
The HSE is unable to provide information on the train operating company and line involved in arson incidences, as these details are not recorded as part of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, 1995 (RIDDOR).
