HC Deb 24 January 1962 vol 652 c17W
25. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Transport if he will instruct tthe representatives of Great Britain on the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organisation which is meeting in March to raise the question of the discharge of waste oil and residues at sea and to propose a date for the total abolition of this custom.

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

The prevention of oil pollution is in fact the subject that this conference has been summoned to discuss. It is the Government's policy to seek the widest possible international agreement for preventing oil pollution. However it would not necessarily help to press for a fixed date for total prohibition.
