§ Lord Napier and Ettrickasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why the sail training ship "Inca" is being allowed to continue as a sail training ship in Canadian waters, and whether she was given a proper examination by surveyors from the Department of Transport.
§ Lord Brabazon of TaraThe sailing ship "Cuidad de Inca" is not, to our knowledge, operating as a sail training ship. Contact is being maintained with the Canadian authorities, who are aware of the survey and certification status of the ship.
A declaration of survey was provided by the owner's consultant following his out-of-water examination, and before leaving the United Kingdom the ship was examined by surveyors of the Department of Transport.
