Dept for Transport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish the reports by the Health and Safety Executive on IT systems in operation at Swanwick and West Drayton.

Answer: Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will publish the reports by the Health and Safety Executive on IT systems in operation at Swanwick and West Drayton. [60304] Mr. Jamieson: HSE has already sent a copy of its report on the operation of IT systems at Swanwick to the employer, NATS, and to the representatives of the relevant employees in accordance with its duty to keep them informed about matters affecting their health and safety. HSE will endeavour to release the report more widely. However there are statutory restrictions on the disclosure of information obtained by HSE in pursuance of its powers and at present they still apply to this report. I will write to the hon. Member as soon as I am able to give him any further information on this issue. There is no corresponding report on the operation of the display screen equipment at West Drayton air traffic control centre.
