HC Deb 09 July 1974 vol 876 c435W
38. Mr. Kimball

asked the Secretary of State for Trade when he expects to salvage the motor ship "Tudor Prince" from the bed of the Grand Harbour in Malta.

Mr. Clinton Davis

This is a Danish ship which was on a normal commercial voyage. The first salvage attempt was unsuccessful. I understand that the owner now intends to abandon the wreck as further attempts might cause the ship to fall into deeper water and in any event would cost more than the value of ship and cargo.
