National Salvage Tug Service (Hansard, 29 July 1982)

HC Deb 29 July 1982 vol 28 c623W 623W

§ Sir Patrick Wall
asked the Minister for Trade if he will consider setting up a committee to establish the need for a national salvage tug service.

§ Mr. Sproat
Following the recommendation of the Royal Commission on environmental pollution, my Department has undertaken a study of the availability of deep sea tugs in United Kingdom waters. In the light of that study, I shall consider, later this year, whether there is a need for a national tug service or any other measure.
