To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether any inquiry will be conducted into the deaths of rail passengers who fell from InterCity trains when doors opened; and if he will make a statement.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my hon. Friend the Member for Derbyshire, West (Mr. McLoughlin) on 5 December last, Hansard, Vol. 182, column 118. British Rail thoroughly investigates all incidents of this nature and makes its reports available to Her Majesty's railway inspectorate.
