HC Deb 06 July 1976 vol 914 cc502-3W
62. Sir Anthony Royle

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the recent incident which involved the shelling of a small boat by warships off the north coast of Scotland, the details of which have been forwarded to him; and if he will take immediate steps to institute an inquiry into the incident in order to arrange compensation and an apology for the anxiety and worry experienced by Mr. and Mrs. Grove of 30 Forest Road, Kew, Richmond, Surrey.

Mr. Duffy

I am looking into this and will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
