HC Deb 27 June 1988 vol 136 cc116-7W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has as to whether properly trained radio officers were available for radio operations during the fire involving the vessel European Trader.

Mr. David Mitchell

I have not received the inspector's report of his investigation of this casualty, but I understand that a properly trained radio officer and in addition VHF radio facilities were available for radio operations during the fire involving the vessel European Trader.
