HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 c51W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is aware of the need for greater safeguards relating to underwater activities by submarines and other projects; and if he will initiate an inquiry.

Mr. Onslow

The inquiry into the accident of "Pisces III" is continuing and detailed information is being obtained regarding the construction and operation of submersible craft. We will consider in the light of this whether greater safeguards are needed.
