HC Deb 25 October 1994 vol 248 cc552-3W
Mr. Burden

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to undertake a complete camera inspection of the located wreck of MV `Derbyshire'; and what assessment he has made of the relevance of such an inspection to future building and operational safety for ships of this type.

Mr. Norris

The marine accident investigation branch has been considering the sonar and video material supplied by the International Transport Workers Federation. We expect to receive a report from the chief inspector of marine accidents very soon. We will then consider what further action needs to be taken.
