Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) 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 have reflected on that matter and I am now able to tell the hon. Gentleman that we would not normally board a vessel at sea. Should we wish to do so, we have powers under section 259 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995. Normally, we would wait for the ship to arrive at a UK port where it could be detained if necessary.
