HC Deb 25 February 1993 vol 219 c692W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the policy of HM Coastguard in respect of the current operation of the subfacts scheme.

Mr. Norris

[holding answer 23 February 1993]: HM coastguard supports the agreement between the Ministry of Defence and the fishing industry that information on the areas where dived submarines are active should be provided for the benefit of fishermen.

Recent discussions have been held with Ministry of Defence officials to consider the options available for transmitting subfacts information. Proposals are awaited from the MOD as to the best way forward.
