HC Deb 26 October 1953 vol 518 c325W
89. Sir H. Roper

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps he is taking to implement the recommendations of the Committee on the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I am not yet in a position to add to the reply to a similar Question which my hon. Friend put to me on 27th July, when I said that, though many of the Committee's recommendations called for legislation, the British shipowners' organisations had advised their members to give effect voluntarily to those recommendations which they could put into force at once.
