§ Mr. CroslandI am at present examining the future of the weather advisory service for trawlers in the light of the operation of the "Orsino" last winter. I have also recently received the Report of the Holland-Martin Committee on Trawler Safety, and I am now considering this in consultation with my colleagues. I hope to make a statement when the report is published.
