HC Deb 03 May 1955 vol 540 c118W
Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what steps he is taking to assist the survivors of the Grimsby trawler "Remindo" which sank recently off the Faroes and are at present in hospital in Thorshavn.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The owners have made the necessary arrangements. Nine of the survivors, and the bodies of three of the men who lost their lives are due at Grimsby late today or early tomorrow in the "Rapallo." The remaining survivor will be brought home as soon as he is fit to travel. I am sure the House will join with me in expressing its deep regret at this loss of life, and its sympathy with the relatives of the men concerned.
