MPs call for debate on poison ship
Environment minister Peter van Geel misinformed parliament about the cargo carried by the ship Probo Koala which dumped 400 tonnes of toxic waste in the Ivory Coast in August after leaving Amsterdam, according to a report by the public prosecution department.
Labour MPs have called for an emergency debate on the issue. Seven people have died as a result of the dumping.
