§ 56. Mr. Eric Fletcherasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is now in a position to make a further statement on the circumstances in which the Grimsby trawler "Etruria" was boarded by a Soviet crew.
§ Mr. Ernest DaviesNo, Sir. Until we have the trawler skipper's version of the incident, there is nothing I can add to my statements in the House on 5th and 10th May respectively. The House is no doubt aware that the trawler was released on 11th May.
Air-Commodore HarveyDoes the hon. Gentleman think these risks were justified when the trawler's catch from the voyage will be used for fishmeal?
