§ 74. Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Minister of Transport whether he will review the life-saving equipment regulations for merchant ships, with particular regard to the respective merits of different types of raft and of lifeboats, in view of the experiences with the "Ambassador" and the "Lakonia".
§ Mr. MarplesI think it will be some time before the report of the Greek inquiry into the loss of the "Lakonia" can be available, but I will certainly have it studied with this consideration in mind. The loss of the "Ambassador" is being studied in all its aspects.
