Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many collisions have occurred to his knowledge during the past year in which tankers were in some way involved; and how many fatalities resulted.

I have information of 14 such collisions between 1st October, 1971, and 30th September, 1972. The death of 74 British subjects resulted, all on the "Royston Grange".
