HC Deb 17 March 1987 vol 112 c429W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether, as an interim safety measure for all roll-on/roll-off ferries, he will take steps to ensure that not only a warning light is fitted but also an audio signal in relation to loading doors.

Mr. Moore

As an interim measure my Department is recommending to all owners of roll-on/roll-off ferries that warning lights should be fitted on the bridge to show whether or not car loading doors are properly closed. This safety measure will be reviewed in the light of what emerges from the formal investigation.
