I am grateful for the meeting that we had on ship transfer in the River Forth. As my hon. Friend is aware, the main concern is that, should an incident take place, albeit that the likelihood of that happening is minute, the scale of the problem would be enormous. Is he satisfied that the range of compensation suggested in the Bill would meet such a situation? Is there any way in which further compensation can be offered should an incident cause a much larger problem than the scale of liability covers?
