HC Deb 20 April 1967 vol 745 c148W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will offer technical help to France to assist the freeing of their beaches from oil.

Mr. Mulley

There has been close contact with the French authorities on the scientific and technical problems caused by the wrecking of "Torrey Canyon".

The French Government have sent two separate missions to this country to discuss matters with the authorities in the South West; close liaison with the French scientists concerned is being maintained and the Nature Conservancy has arranged for two of its scientists to visit France.
