First anniversary of Bow Crane collapse

Early day motion 286, tabled 6 July 2021 by Apsana Begum (Labour). Signed by 15 members.

That this House notes with deepest regret that 8 July 2021 marks the tragic death of June Harvey after a tower crane fell on her house in Bow in 2020; further notes with sadness other fatalities as a result of crane collapses; pays tribute to the construction safety campaign, largely led by bereaved relatives and trade unions, raising concerns about the under-regulation of health and safety in the construction industry amidst a reduction in inspections and reductions in the Health and Safety Executive's resources, particularly since 2010; and calls on the Government to ensure that legislation and guidance regulating cranes are robust and that the HSE has the resources for vigorous enforcement.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, DUP 1, Independent 1, Scottish National Party 1.
