HC Deb 18 March 1964 vol 691 c184W
74. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will review the life-saving equipment regulations for merchant ships, with particular regard to the respective merits of different types of raft and of lifeboats, in view of the experiences with the "Ambassador" and the "Lakonia".

Mr. Marples

I think it will be some time before the report of the Greek inquiry into the loss of the "Lakonia" can be available, but I will certainly have it studied with this consideration in mind. The loss of the "Ambassador" is being studied in all its aspects.
