HC Deb 03 April 1990 vol 170 c507W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will investigate co-operation between the insurance companies of both ships involved in the sinking of the Marchioness on payments to relatives; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Redwood

No. The insurers of the Marchioness and Bowbelle have agreed a formula for settlement of claims without either party restricting the right to sue the other. I see no reason for any investigation.
