What progress they have made in implementing the recommendations of Lord Donaldson of Lymington's inquiry into the prevention of pollution from merchant shipping.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Baroness Hayman)We have today placed copies of a progress note in the Library. This shows that the bulk of the inquiry's recommendations have now been implemented, that the implementation of the majority of the remainder is ongoing, that some have been overtaken, and that only five are still under consideration.
