§ Mr. Dobsonasked the Lord Privy Seal, pursuant to his reply, Official Report, 31 July, column 545, in view of the fact that the tanker "Agios loannes" discharged a cargo of North Sea oil landed at Teesside on 19 November 1980 at the South African port of Saldanha in contravention of Her Majesty's Government's policy, if he will seek to ascertain the companies which (a) owned the tanker, (b) chattered the tanker and (c) owned the oil; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Humphrey AtkinsOur investigations show that the oil which this tanker loaded in November 1980 at Teesside was not produced in the United Kingdom continental shelf, and the ship's owners gave a destination for the cargo other than South Africa.
