§ Mr. Don FosterTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 10 June 2002,Official Report, column 781–82W, on rail safety, if he will list for each incident the (a) county, (b) Railtrack operating zone and (c) line where it took place: and if he will make a statement. [62179]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe information requested, for the period I April 2000 to 31 March 2002, has been placed in the Libraries of the House.
The Health and Safety Executive's Railway Inspectorate's (HMRI' s) accident database (SIGNAL), which came into operation in early 2000, records the county of the location of the incident and line route details. Prior to 2000 HMRI did not collect comprehensive details of the county line route. This could be provided at only disproportionate cost.
