HC Deb 09 February 1972 vol 830 c384W
Mr. Peter Mills

asked the Attorney-General whether he will institute proceedings under the Dangerous Litter Act, 1971, against the owners of the cargo ship "Germania", in view of the dangerous litter deposited on the beaches of the south-west of England.

The Attorney-General

No. I have received no evidence that any offence under the Litter Acts, 1958 and 1971, was committed within the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
