Fishing Boat Sapphire

EDM number 379 in 1997-98, proposed by Alex Salmond on 03/11/1997.

That this House believes that, in light of the feasibility study by Dronik Consultants, the Government should order the raising of the Peterhead fishing boat 'Sapphire' to allow some opportunity of returning the bodies of the four lost fishermen to their families; and further calls for a Government review of public responsibility in such matters.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
