HC Deb 20 November 1991 vol 199 c157W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to announce what the shipping requirements in times of conflict should be.

Mr. McLoughlin

Shipping requirements in times of conflict will depend on the type of conflict. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence is considering the military requirements in the light of the NATO Heads of State and Governments' recent agreement in Rome.
