Written question asked by Louise Ellman (Labour) on Thursday, 29 October 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 3 November 2015 (named day). It was answered by Robert Goodwill (Conservative) on Tuesday, 3 November 2015 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Stephen O'Malley

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make representations to his Danish counterpart on reopening the inquest into the death of commercial driver Stephen O'Malley in 2012.

Answer

No. The death of Mr O’Malley was not a maritime accident as defined in law, and is considered to be a health and safety at work incident. It therefore falls outside the responsibilities of the Department for Transport and its Danish counterpart.
