Proceeding contribution from Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat) 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]
The Minister may be about to deal with my point. The supplementary fund, together with the original fund, will amount to £600 million, but the cost of the Prestige damage was £700 million. Even with the new arrangements, it would appear that, in the event of a repetition of that incident or an incident on the same scale, the fund would not cover it.
