HC Deb 11 June 1975 vol 893 cc205-6W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on what date and by what method the capital grant paid by him on MV "Springbok", renamed "Regina Coeli", was repaid to his Department by the first owners following disposal within three years of launching.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

The capital grant was not repaid. The Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture has now taken possession of the vessel.
