§ Mr. SteenTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to inform all the agencies to which he wrote on 22 July about anchoring in Lyme bay that ships may continue to call off Lyme/Torbay for legitimate servicing, and that they may anchor there for that purpose for periods of time.
§ Mr. McLoughlinLetters sent out by my Department on 22 July were directed to the owners of three ships and referred specifically to the long-term anchoring of those ships in Lyme bay with the attendant risk of large-scale pollution. It is not proposed to write again to these owners on this matter.
