Martin raises the landslip with the Leader of the House of Commons
Martin has asked the Leader of the House of Commons, the Rt Hon Andrew Landsley MP, to arrange for a statement outlining the responsibilities of different agencies so that it is possible to understand who is responsible for the landslip repairs.
Martin Vickers (Cleethorpes) (Con): The main rail route into Cleethorpes has been closed since 9 February following a landslip at Hatfield near Doncaster. In the short term, the most important thing is to restore services, but in the longer term there are concerns about the safety and monitoring of the spoil tips. Will the Leader of the House arrange for a statement outlining the responsibilities of the various regulatory agencies and the frequencies of inspections?
Mr Lansley: I am grateful to my hon. Friend because that is an important issue for those in north Lincolnshire. I reiterate my point about Transport questions next Thursday because he will clearly want to raise that issue if possible. I will also contact my hon. Friends because I know they will want to take action on this issue and provide reassurances as soon as they can.
