Marchioness Enquiry (EDM218)

Marchioness Enquiry

EDM number 218 in 1993-94, proposed by Joan Walley on 08/12/1993.

That this House recalls that after the 'Marchioness' disaster, and despite widespread and continued calls for a public inquiry, Her Majesty's Government refused such requests, but instead referred the inquiry to its own Marine Accident Investigation Branch; congratulates Channel 4 television on its Dispatches programme concerning those events which demonstrated the secret, inadequate and incomplete nature of that investigation; and thus calls on Her Majesty's Government to initiate forthwith a public inquiry into the disaster, comparable to those held into the King's Cross and Clapham tragedies and, after consultation, to make proposals for an investigation into the failure of public procedures, bodies, and persons in respect of these events and into the means of ensuring safety of navigation on the River Thames.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
