HC Deb 12 March 1957 vol 566 c166W
102. Mr. Knox Cunningham

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation, in view of the anxiety expressed by Her Majesty's Government that an international conference should take place as soon as possible to consider the 1955 Draft Convention relating to the limitation of liability of sea-going vessels, and the fact that in 1956 the Belgian Government were approached by Her Majesty's Government to ascertain how soon such a conference was likely to take place, and since no invitation has yet been received from the Belgian Government for Her Majesty's Government to attend, whether he will instruct Her Majesty's Ambassador in Brussels to raise the matter again with the Belgian Government.

Mr. Watkinson

I understand from Her Majesty's Embassy in Brussels that the Belgian Government will be issuing invitations in the near future.
