HC Deb 18 January 1990 vol 165 cc330-1W
Mr. Hanley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether any further consideration has been given to a comprehensive set of regulations governing navigation in the tidal Thames following the Marchioness disaster.

Mr. McLoughlin

The Port of London Authority has already incorporated within its general direction for navigation the main navigational measures recommended by the interim report of the marine accident investigation branch. It is considering, with the Department the further recommendation with respect to the segregation of commercial and passenger traffic on the river.
