Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alan Meale (Labour), on Wednesday, 9 June 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 46 members in total.


TRAIN DRIVERS - CRIMINAL INJURIES SCHEME

That this House is alarmed about reports that the Home Office is proposing to remove from train drivers involved in witnessing suicides and/or trespass deaths, their right to claim compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme; believes such a move to be wrong and misguided as it flies in the face of previous rulings that found railway suicides to be special cases; and further believes that it fails to grasp the levels and effects of trauma and despair suffered by those innocent drivers unfortunately involved.
