Safety In The Channel Tunnel
EDM number 98 in 1989-90, proposed by Harry Barnes on 28/11/1989.
That this House notes with deep concern the professional anxieties of the Fire Brigades Union regarding safety in the Channel Tunnel and accepts that hundreds, if not thousands, of lives would be at risk in the event of a deliberate or accidental fire or explosion in the tunnel; therefore calls on the Eurotunnel Group to accept the principle of the segregation of vehicles and their passengers as a means of improving safety arrangements; and calls upon the Government to initiate an urgent inquiry into the whole issue of safety in the Channel Tunnel with a view to preventing a major catastrophe.
This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
