Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what recommendations he is prepared to make arising out of his inquiry into the accident on board the British Rail vessel "Essex Ferry" when 14 seamen were overcome by the leaking fumes from a highly concentrated insecticide carried as part of her cargo.

The results of the inquiry which has just been completed, are being studied by the Department in order to see what follow up action should be taken.
