HC Deb 19 October 1999 vol 336 cc510-1W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what progress has been made with the Marine Accidents Investigation Branch's inquiry into a collision between the Irish fishing vessel "Renegade" and an unidentified merchant vessel which occurred on 26 July; if he will place a copy of the report of the inquiry in the Library; and if he will make a statement. [93942]

Mr. Hill

The Marine Accidents Investigation Branch will not be investigating the collision between the Irish fishing vessel "Renegade" and a merchant vessel as both vessels were non-UK registered and the accident happened outside UK territorial waters. However, the Irish authorities are investigating the incident.
