HC Deb 10 July 1968 vol 768 c81W
68. Dr. Winstanley

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will seek to require that the blood groups of all merchant seamen should be ascertained and recorded in each seaman's papers.

Mr. William Rodgers

Arrangements exist for this information to be included in a seaman's documents if he so wishes, but I am not at present convinced that this further step should be taken.
