HC Deb 14 March 1991 vol 187 c635W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will list those North sea standby vessels which do not meet the requirements of recommendation 89 of the Cullen report;

(2) if he will list those North sea standby vessels which meet the requirements of recommendation 89 of the Cullen report.

Mr. McLoughlin

The information is not available from the survey records kept by the Department, but, since September 1990, most ships converting for standby vessel duties have been meeting those requirements of the Cullen report which the Department had anticipated it might contain. The full requirements of recommendation 89 have now been incorporated into the Department's latest standard for standby vessels.

Forward to
