§ Lord KENNETasked Her Majesty's Government:
What are their forecasts for the future movements of hazardous cargoes through the Dover Strait, including the number of tankers and carriers, of what size, destined for what ports, flying what flag, and carrying what cargoes (specifying LNG/LPG, nuclear cargoes, chemicals, etc).
§ Lord JACQUESCurrent statistical information on traffic movements through the Dover Strait is based upon an Anglo-

1090WAFrench survey carried out in June 1977. This shows: (i) a daily traffic flow of 19 oil tankers, 6 gas carriers and 2 chemical carriers bound for ports in N.W. Europe; (ii) a daily movement in the order of 1.5m. tons of oil and 100,000 tons of other hazardous cargoes.
Detailed information on destinations and nationality is not available at the present time. Further information on traffic movements, based on the current trials of the ship movement reporting system in the English Channel, will be available later this year.
