HC Deb 23 November 1970 vol 807 cc17-8W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he is satisfied that Recommendation 7 of the Holland-Martin Report on trawler safety is being fully observed; how he proposes to implement it in the future; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Noble

The Department has already agreed in principle with the trawler industry how the Holland-Martin recommendations about radio communications, including Recommendation 7, should be implemented, and a working group with a wide representation of interests has been set up to produce detailed regulations.
