HC Deb 31 July 1958 vol 592 cc188-9W
Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what approaches have been made, or are proposed to be made, to those maritime countries who have not yet ratified the International Convention for the Prevention of the Pollution of the Sea by Oil in order to secure ratification as soon as possible.

Mr. Watkinson

Her Majesty's Representatives in the countries concerned have already been instructed to approach the appropriate authorities with a view to urging early ratification of the Convention. Similar action is being taken in the case of the Commonwealth countries concerned.
