HC Deb 20 December 1994 vol 251 c1089W
Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many fatalities occurred on the Marchioness; and of these how many were non-United Kingdom citizens.

Mr. Norris

Fifty-one people died, 16 of whom were non-UK citizens.

Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list all those who submitted evidence to the marine accident investigation branch report into the Marchioness disaster.

Mr. Norris

The MAIB inquiry obtained evidence, either orally or in the form of written statements, from well over 100 people. In the case of most of the survivors, the statements were those made to the police. It is not normal practice to provide a list of witnesses.
