Ms Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will reject proposals for a British open register of shipping;

(2) if he will place in the Library a copy of his reply to the chief executive and secretary of the Baltic Exchange's letter of 3 December concerning proposals for a British open register of shipping.

Mr. Norris

These proposals will need to be studied carefully before any conclusion is reached.

The Department's letter of 15 December, acknowledging the one from the chief executive of the Baltic Exchange, briefly explained this.
