HC Deb 24 May 1950 vol 475 c246W
78. Mr. Donnelly

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what action his Department proposes to take regarding the sunken wrecks which are at present obstructing Angle Bay and Dale Roads.

Mr. Callaghan

The wreckage in Angle Bay will be cleared as soon as possible. The only wrecks in Dale Roads known to the Admiralty are a naval examination vessel and a merchant vessel, the "Dakotian." It is an Admiralty responsibility to clear the examination vessel, which has been dispersed to a depth of 37 feet, which is considered to be adequate for navigational purposes. I understand that Trinity House, which is the authority responsible for deciding whether to clear the merchant vessel, is at present lighting and buoying the wreck.
