§ Mr. Hoyleasked the Secretary of State for Transport what conclusions his Department's inquiry reached in relation to the disappearance of the South Stack in the North sea; and if he will place a copy of the report in the Library.
§ Mr. David MitchellIt has not been possible to establish with certainty the reason for the loss of this vessel 541W but the most probable explanation is that she capsized. It is not the practice to publish inquiry reports of this kind, but the facts are always made available to interested parties. This is to be done shortly in the case of the South Stack.
