Proceeding contribution from Adrian Sanders (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 February 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on MSC Napoli.


MSC Napoli

The Minister rightly praised the RAF and the coastguard, but he was remiss in not congratulating the salvors who are working 24 hours a day. But for their fantastic work, the disaster in Lyme bay would have been much worse. Given the history of the vessel, why was it not taken into Falmouth or Plymouth? If that action had been taken, rather than going past Torbay and the entire length of the Jurassic coast to get to Portland, the vessel would never have had to be beached.
