HC Deb 25 July 1990 vol 177 c229W
Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether he has any plans to review the regulations governing look-outs on(a) pleasure boats and (b) non-pleasure boats using the Thames.

Mr. McLoughlin

The rules covering look-outs contained in the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 are not under review at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The Port of London Authority general directions for navigation that apply to all craft plying on the Thames were amended on 18 September 1989. Those amendments included a revision of the requirements for a look-out.
