Mv Derbyshire (No. 2)

EDM number 1287 in 1993-94, proposed by Eddie Loyden on 24/05/1994.

That this House applauds the efforts of the Rail and Marine Workers Union and the International Transport Workers Federation for financing and undertaking a marine search for the MV 'Derbyshire' that sank in the China Sea with the loss of all her crew; and wishes them every success in their endeavours that will be welcomed by seafarers worldwide, and in particular the bereaved families of the MV 'Derbyshire's crew who have waited for far too long for a reopening of the inquiry into the tragic loss of the 'Derbyshire' that casts serious doubts on the safety and seaworthiness of this type of bulk carrier.

This motion has been signed by a total of 74 MPs.
