30. Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Trade when the Government propose to implement the recommendations in the report of the Steering Committee on pilotage dated June 1974.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisAs my right hon. Friend said in reply to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Gravesend (Mr. Ovenden) on 12th December 1975, the Government accept in general the recommendations of the Committee but it is unlikely that a Bill can be introduced this Session. I hope that legislative time can be found as soon as possible thereafter in order to implement fully much needed reforms in marine pilotage.
