HC Deb 17 January 1967 vol 739 c29W
Mr. McNamara

asked the President of the Board of Trade what regulations cover the fencing of dangerous machinery and fishing gear and the height of bulwarks on British trawlers.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

The existing regulations do not cover these matters, but the United Kingdom will be playing a full part in the comprehensive examination of all aspects of the safety of fishing vessels which is now being undertaken by the international organisations concerned (I.M.C.O., I.L.O. and F.A.O.).
