JUSTICE FOR THE BEREAVED FAMILIES OF THE POTTERS BAR CRASH

Early day motion 1427, tabled 30 June 2004 by James Clappison (Conservative). Signed by 39 members.

That this House believes that the families bereaved by the Potters Bar rail crash deserve proper compensation for the loss of their loved ones; notes that the sums thus far offered by Network Rail and Jarvis to five of the seven families are a small fraction of the sums which were reported as being offered by them in 2002; and calls upon Network Rail and Jarvis to recognise the value of the lives lost and the trauma suffered by the bereaved families.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Liberal Democrat 10, Conservative 3, DUP 2, Labour/Co-operative 1, UUP 1.
