§ Mr. NorrisI have asked the chief executive of the Marine Safety Agency to write to the hon. Member.
Letter from R. M. Bradley to Mr. Martin Redmond, dated 13 March 1996:
The Secretary of State for Transport has asked me to reply to your questions about the locations of UK waste reception facilities for waste oil from ships, and those introduced since the Donaldson Report.
A list of the port waste reception facilities in the United Kingdom was placed in the House library in June 1995, based on a regular questionnaire survey of UK ports conducted by the Marine Safety Agency.
Information is not held in sufficient detail to enable port waste reception facilities which were introduced since the publication of Lord Donaldson's report "Safer Ships, Cleaner Seas" to be readily identified. However a questionnaire survey is to be carried out this year, the data collected will provide information on changes since 1995.
