Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Edward O'Hara (Labour), on Wednesday, 27 November 2002, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 57 members in total.
SAFETY STANDARDS OF MERCHANT SHIPS
That this House notes the concern aroused about the spillage of oil threatening the coast of Galicia as a result of the foundering of the bulk oil carrier Prestige; further notes however that such bulk carriers regularly are lost with their crews on the high seas without being reported in the mass media; and urges Her Majesty's Government to press the International Maritime Organisation and the International Association of Classification Societies to enforce standards of construction and safety measures in such vessels which will ensure that seafarers' lives will no longer be the currency of rustbucket trade.
