Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 January 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Merchant Shipping (Pollution) Bill [HL] 2005-06.


Merchant Shipping (Pollution) Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way and I appreciate that he is about to outline the benefits of the Bill. There was talk some time ago of banning single-skin tankers. What is the state of play on that? Should we not focus on prevention rather than on clearing up the mess after an accident has happened?
