GREATER MANCHESTER TRAM SYSTEM

Early day motion 1312, tabled 3 June 2003 by Graham Stringer (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House is extremely concerned at the incident that took place on the Bury section of the Greater Manchester tram system at 3.30pm on Friday 30th May when two trams made emergency stops to avoid a head on collision; believes that Serco, the tram operating company, should make public the findings of its inquiry into the incident at the earliest opportunity; and further condemns Serco's deliberate attempt to keep the incident secret which should disqualify them from running the service in future.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Liberal Democrat 2, Labour/Co-operative 1.
