§ Lord Brougham and Vauxasked Her Majesty's Government:
When they expect to publish their response to the report of Lord Donaldson of Lymington's inquiry into the prevention of marine pollution from merchant shipping.
§ Viscount GoschenWork is well advanced, both in taking forward the report's recommendations and in preparing a response. We believe that it makes sense to delay publication to take account of current developments in the European Community and in the International Maritime Organisation. As a consequence, we now hope to publish the response in the new year.
