Channel 4 Drama And Railway Safety

EDM number 509 in 2001-02, proposed by Ashok Kumar on 04/12/2001.

That this House congratulates Channel 4 for screening 'The Navigators' on Sunday 2nd December; praises the cast and crew for continuing the burgeoning Channel 4 tradition of creating thought-provoking, fact-ional drama along the lines of GBH and Dockers; acknowledges the programme as a hard-hitting, and realistic portrayal of the impact on the railway system and railway safety of ill-thought out privatisation in the early 1990's; and calls on the Government to ensure that whatever changes are effected in the railway network as a result of Railtrack going into administration, safety remains the number one priority.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
