HC Deb 19 March 1969 vol 780 cc120-1W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what action he has taken as a result of the Report of the Jellicoe Delegation to the International Meeting on Marine Pollution, convened by the Italian Government in Rome in October, 1968;

(2) what recent advice he has had from the British Advisory Committee on Oil Pollution of the Sea.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

I have received no advice from the British Advisory Committee on Oil Pollution of the Sea. The international meeting in Rome has not yet issued a report, but I have seen the resolutions adopted at it, some of which cover research on matters within my responsibility. The progress of this research is described in paragraphs 36–38 of Cmnd. 3880.
