HC Deb 25 April 1983 vol 41 c231W
Dr. David Clark

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contact he has had with the Canadian authorities in connection with the British vessel Sea Shepherd II which was impounded in Prince Edward Island; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Pym

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police informed the British high commission in Ottawa of the arrest on 27 March of the Sea Shepherd II and its crew. There has been no request for consular assistance and there are no grounds for any action by the British Government at present.
