Motion Text
That this House notes with deepest regret that 8 July 2023 marks three years since the tragic death of June Harvey after a tower crane fell on her house in Bow in 2020; notes with sadness other fatalities as a result of crane collapses; pays tribute to construction safety campaigns, largely led by bereaved relatives and trade unions; and calls on the Government to ensure that legislation and guidance regulating cranes are robust and that the Health and Safety Executive has the resources for vigorous enforcement.
