asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will set out in the Official Report details of the new statutory directions regarding safe navigation in the Thames estuary, following discussions between his officials and the Port of London Authority which took place after the collision between the coaster "Tower Princess" and the liquid natural gas tanker "Methane Princess" at Canvey Island on 6th December 1974.

Parts 14 and 15 of the general directions for navigation in the Port of London 1975 were introduced as a result of the discussions in question. I am sending a copy to the hon. Member.
