HC Deb 08 February 1979 vol 962 cc295-6W
Miss Fookes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what steps he is taking to reduce the damage to sea birds and other marine life from oil spillage.

Mr. Clinton Davis

We have a long tradition of practical action to help re-vent shipping casualties, and thereby to avoid oil spills. We have also made extensive arrangements to deal effectively with such oil spills as occur. If the hon. Member has any particular point in mind, I shall be pleased to consider it.
