HC Deb 25 January 1978 vol 942 cc644-5W
Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he is in a position to report on the work of the Interdepartmental Committee on Marine Safety which was set up to co-ordinate the development and implementation of policy relating to safety at sea.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The establishment of the Interdepartmental Committee on Marine Safety under my Department's chairmanship was announced by the Prime Minister on 30th July 1976. The Committee has recently submitted its first report, which covers its work for the period to the end of 1977, and I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Library.
