Viscount Goschen: A report on the QE2 incident has been completed by the Director Operations and Seafarer Standards of the Marine Safety Agency. The director's report discloses serious deficiencies in the shore and ship management of the vessel by Cunard; it also
identifies failings on the part of the Marine Safety Agency.On the instructions of the Agency's Chief Executive, the following action is being taken with Cunard:
The chief executive has also stressed to surveyors the importance of maintaining a close but objective working relationship with shipowners. All the agency's staff have been reminded of the agency rules on the acceptance of hospitality.
The full details of the incident are set out in the MSA director's report, which has been placed in the Library of the House.
Lord Hooson asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Miller of Hendon: Responsibility for the subject of this Question has been delegated to the Northern Ireland Prison Service under its Chief Executive, Mr. Alan Shannon. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter to Lord Hooson from the Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Prison Service, Mr. A. D. Shannon, dated 23/11/1995:
Baroness Denton has asked me to reply to the parliamentary Question which you tabled concerning the number of nationals of other European Union member states who are currently on remand in Northern Ireland prisons.
Unfortunately the information held in relation to the nationality of prisoners is not available in the precise form which you have requested. However, our enquiries have revealed that at 15 November 1995 there were two nationals of other European Union member states on remand in Northern Ireland awaiting trial on charges brought against them here. Both prisoners are recorded as citizens of the Republic of Ireland.
I hope this information is helpful.
