HC Deb 20 July 1972 vol 841 c171W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will consider suggesting to the Dutch Government the joint financing of the salvaging, reclamation and restoration of the eighteenth century merchant ship the "Amsterdam".

Mr. Anthony Royle

We have been as helpful as possible to the Dutch Government, whose claim to the legal ownership of this wreck has been accepted, but no direct grant is available for joint financing.
