HC Deb 12 February 1964 vol 689 c71W
64. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport if he has yet completed his inquiries into the bogus flares at sea in the vicinity of Westray Firth off the Scottish coast as a result of which Scottish lifeboat men had put to sea on quests which proved fruitless; if he will now state the result of those inquiries; and what action he has taken to stop this abuse and punish the offenders.

Mr. Marples

My inquiries are not yet complete. As soon as they are I will write to the hon. and learned Member.
