HC Deb 27 March 1969 vol 780 c356W
65. Mr. Braine

asked the President of the Board of Trade what further recommendations have been made to the Government by his explosives experts about salvaging the munitions cargo of the wreck of the S.S. "Richard Montgomery" in the Thames Estuary, following their advice in 1967 that such salvage would involve a greater risk of explosion, would put the lives of the salvage team in danger, and would create a hazard to the surrounding population.

Mr. William Rodgers

None since 1967. It is intended to conduct periodic reviews of the situation and there will be one next year.
