Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the number of Trinity House pilots operating in the River Thames; and if he has made any studies to estimate future requirements.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuThere are 510 such pilots. I have not made any studies to estimate future requirements as these are predominantly the responsibility of Trinity House who have the situation continually under review.
