HC Deb 27 January 1982 vol 16 c350W
Mr. Prescott

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if his Department is satisfied that the Liberian vessel "Leros Island" left London docks in compliance with all required maritime safety standards, particularly manning and qualifications of her crew, after the detention of a number of her crew under the Immigration Acts.

Mr. Sproat

My Department's attention was drawn to the manning of the Greek ship "Leros Island" which was recently in the port of London. Its inquiries revealed no reason for intervention on the grounds of undermanning or the qualifications of the crew.
