Railway Fire Safety Regulations

EDM number 1118 in 2008-09, proposed by Andrew Dismore on 17/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.

That this House notes the forthcoming introduction of new regulations which update and strengthen fire safety regulations at sub-surface railway stations; further notes that the original regulations were introduced after the tragic King's Cross fire in 1987, and welcomes the fact that key aspects of the original regulations have been retained, including minimum staffing levels and adequate staff training; further welcomes the fact that the new regulations are being introduced following extensive consultation between the Government, trades unions, the Fire Brigade and transport operators; and congratulates the trades unions for their vigorous campaigning in standing up for the safety of the public and their members.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
