Mobile Cranes And Mots
EDM number 830 in 2012-13, proposed by Robert Smith on 10/12/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Construction industry and Roads.
That this House notes the fatal accident inquiry report into the tragic road traffic accident that led to the deaths of Ann, Niamh and Ciara Copeland; further notes the report's conclusion that the probable cause of this accident was hydraulic fluid leaking from a poorly maintained mobile crane; further notes that in his report the sheriff strongly recommended that the Government enact legislation as a matter of urgency with the effect of removing the current exemption applying to mobile cranes from undergoing a regular MOT; further notes that the Department for Transport's own consultation document recognised that the UK currently does not meet an EU Directive in this regard; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislation as soon as possible.
This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs.
