Independent Safety Rail Regulator
EDM number 1179 in 2003-04, proposed by Michael Clapham on 12/05/2004.
That this House is concerned by reports that the current Rail Review is considering stripping the Health and Safety Executive of responsibility for rail safety; notes the Rail Safety and Standards Board supports the view of the Health and Safety Commission that rail safety has made steady improvements under its administration; believes that the independence of the Health and Safety Inspectorate has provided an assurance to the travelling public that the safety of rail passengers and staff is being properly managed; and calls on the Government to ensure that rail safety remains a top priority and stays with the Health and Safety Executive.
This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
