Statement by deputy prime minister, John Prescott about IGC decision on resumption of HGV shuttles
_______________________________________________________________


date

source Department of Transport
type Press release

note 105


I am satisfied that it is the IGC's judgement that Eurotunnel have
met the CTSA's requirements for immediate actions on safety, prior
to a restart of HGV shuttles. All those involved need to learn from
the lessons that have come out of this.

I am pleased that Eurotunnel has met the request to provide a
timetable to implement the recommendations in CTSA's report. This is
an extremely important step towards ensuring that such an incident
does not happen again."

"We shall continue to press for work to improve the safety of the
shuttles, in line with the CTSA's report."
