§ Mr. BerminghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he will be making in relation to European Community maritime policy at the meeting of Ministers on 20 June with respect to the employment of non-European Community nationals in Community flagged-ships, and to the establishment of offshore international ship registers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. David MitchellI have no plans to make proposals with respect to these two matters. I would expect there to be proposals from the Commission on this or related issues well in advance of any substantive discussion in the Council.
