HC Deb 24 June 1964 vol 697 cc80-1W
61. Mr. Milne

asked the Minister of Transport if he will introduce legislation to provide for the payment of compensation to holidaymakers who are involved in steamship accidents.

Mr. Marples

The Government has been giving consideration to the question of shipowners' liability towards passengers. If it should be decided to introduce legislation on this subject, holidaymakers who are passengers in steamships would be covered by that legislation.
