HC Deb 12 December 1962 vol 669 cc64-5W
53. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he is yet in a position to give details of the ultimate settlement, including the amount and date of the compensation paid by the Danish Government or other persons found responsible, for the damage done by the firing on the Scottish trawler "Red Crusader", and the steps he has taken to prevent a recurrence of such incidents and to maintain friendly relations between the Governments and fishing fleets involved.

Mr. P. Thomas

Her Majesty's Government are keeping in touch with the Danish Government about the report of the Commission of Inquiry into this incident. We hope that before long joint discussions will be held with a view to settling all aspects of the matter.
