HC Deb 27 March 1972 vol 834 c8W
56. Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will institute an urgent investigation into possible oil seepage from the wreck of the Liberian oil tanker "Torrey Canyon" off the Seven Stones Reef.

Mr. Anthony Grant

I am satisfied from inquiries already made that it is very unlikely that oil recently reported off the Cornish coast came from the "Torrey Canyon".
