§ Mr. MorleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when inspections of the Cap Bon were carried out; who carried them out: what was the assessment: how 565W many deficiencies were found; when he expects the boat to resume the carrying of livestock; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NorrisThis is an operational matter for the Marine Safety Agency. I have asked the chief executive to write to the hon. Member.
Letter from R. M. Bradley to Mr. Elliot Morley, dated 15 March 1995:
The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your Question about the inspection of the cargo ship 'CAP BON'.The ship was last inspected by the French port state control authorities in Dieppe on 1 March 1995. Their inspection identified fifty-six safety deficiencies and the ship was detained. The ship was subsequently released after fifty-one of the deficiencies had been rectified. The ship has not visited a UK port recently but if she were to, she would be subject to the UK's port state control regime.
