HC Deb 17 June 1964 vol 696 c186W
64. Mr. Pentland

asked the Minister of Transport if he will now state the result of his investigation into the contents of a number of metal containers pulled up in the nets of Breton fishing trawlers off Penmarch Point, which were claimed by the French authorities to be stamped "Made in England".

Mr. Marples

The investigations of the French authorities and of the United Kingdom Government chemist are still proceeding. It has, however, been positively confirmed that the drums so far examined do not contain radio-active material or fluoracetamide or any other toxic substance.
