3.22 p.m.
Lord Berkeley
had given notice of his intention to ask Her Majesty's Government:
What form of inquiry they propose to establish to investigate the accident to the tanker "Sea Empress" off Milford Haven.
Lord Strathclyde
My Lords, in view of the fact that at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m. my noble friend Lord Goschen will, with the leave of the House, repeat a Statement that is to be made in another place on the "Sea Empress", I suggest that that will provide an opportunity for a full Answer to be given to the noble Lord's Question. I understand that the noble Lord is content to wait until then. I hope that that course of action will meet with the approval of the whole House.
Noble Lords
Hear, hear!
Lord Berkeley
My Lords, I shall therefore not proceed to ask my Question.
