HC Deb 07 August 1947 vol 441 c201W
99. Mr. D. Marshall

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will make a further statement about the complaint by the Maker Parish Council on the alleged oil pollution in Cawsand Bay.

Mr. Dugdale

Yes. Information has now been received from the Maker Parish Council that the alleged oil pollution in Cawsand Bay took place on 23rd May last. In view of his interest in the matter the hon. Member will be glad to learn that none of His Majesty's ships were operating in that area on that date. It is clear, therefore, that the Royal Navy were not to blame.
