HC Deb 11 June 1971 vol 818 cc386-7W
Mr. Neave

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he expects to publish the results of his inquiry into the fire on the liner s.s. "Oriana" which broke out on 11th August, 1970.

Mr. Noble

This inquiry was a preliminary inquiry under Section 465 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894. Such inquiries are intended to guide the Department on further action that may be necessary, and the reports on them are not suitable for publication.
