HC Deb 16 February 1993 vol 219 c152W
Mr. Norman Hogg

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of how much time it would take for a sea-going tug to render assistance in the event of a tanker getting into trouble in the Minch.

Mr. Norris

[holding answer 12 February 1993]Such an assessment is not possible without defining the particular circumstances of the case including weather and the location of the casualty. Provision of emergency tug assistance is a matter between the owner or master of the casualty and tug suppliers.
