Written answers

There is no record in my Department of an incident relating to a report of an accident in November 1980 involving a vessel of the name supplied.  My Department has a record of an accident relating to a vessel of a similar name, which may be what the Deputy is referring to.  The Report of the Preliminary Inquiry into the casualty on the vessel in question is on a file in the Department which, as it is now over 30 years old, is being sent to the National Archives, where a request can be made in due course to view it.
