HC Deb 05 March 1965 vol 707 c318W
Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many certificates of officers of the Merchant Service and fishing fleet, respectively, have been cancelled or suspended by courts of formal investigation under the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, during the year 1964; and, in cases of suspension, what was the period of suspension in each case.

Mr. Mason

During 1964, no officers of the Merchant Service had their certificates cancelled or suspended; no officers of the fishing fleet had their certificates cancelled, but seven had them suspended, one for six months, four for one year and two for two years.
