HC Deb 11 July 1989 vol 156 cc459-62W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has any proposals to introduce regulations covering the carriage of immersion suits on United Kingdom registered fishing vessels over 10 metres in overall length as part of their life-saving equipment; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Portillo

The carriage of life-saving appliances, including immersion suits, on fishing vessels is under examination by the Department in consultation with the fishing industry as part of the review of the Fishing Vessel (Safety Provisions) Rules 1975.

Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list in theOfficial Report the names, number of fatalities and port of registration of United Kingdom registered fishing vessels which have been lost in each of the past five years.

Mr. Portillo

The names of United Kingdom registered fishing vessels which have been lost in the past five years are listed together with fatalities.

It is not possible in all cases to give the port of registry for vessels for the years 1984–86 as this information is not readily available.
