Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Richard Bacon (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 6 March 2007 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Railways

Question
My constituents also use this line and they were shocked by the death at Swainsthorpe last Thursday—the third death there in 16 months. I have written to the Secretary of State about that. Will the Minister tell us whether there will be a full review of automatic half-barrier crossings, which are thought to be a risk factor in the accidents that have occurred?
Answer

The Department for Transport will, of course, act on any recommendations that we receive from Her Majesty’s rail inspectorate.
