REPORT FROM LONDON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY ON `ONE YEAR ON FROM 7/7'

EDM number 2540 in 2005-06, proposed by David Jones on 11/07/2006.

That this House congratulates the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on its recent report `One Year on From 7/7'; acknowledges the valid and constructive conclusions it drew; supports that report's key proposal that the Government should create a department for homeland security and appoint a single minister to take responsibility for it; agrees with the report's advocacy of the need for more visible policing of London's transport system, including off-duty police officers wearing uniform when travelling free of charge to and from work and greater use of body scanners on the transport system; supports its call for no further delays in ensuring the emergency services have functioning radios when working underground; and generally applauds all of those who, like the LCCI, are endeavouring to make London, and particularly its transport system, safer for the general public.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
