§ Mr. FoulkesTo ask the Secretary for Defence what are the reasons for the delay in the consideration of possible disciplinary action following the sinking of the fishing vessel Antares;[...]what action he has taken to speed up the consideration; when he now expects the consideration to be concluded; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe question whether there should be disciplinary proceedings is entirely the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief Fleet. I understand that his decision will be made shortly. As these matters are still under consideration, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further.
