Proceeding contribution from Tony Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

May I tell my right hon. Friend just how delighted I am that he has raised the issue of mountain rescue teams in amendment 58? The emergency services are often praised for the tremendous work that they do, but the mountain rescue teams are a sort of forgotten emergency service. No better example of this could be given than what happened last November during the floods, when the Cockermouth mountain rescue team saved people's lives and did an incredible job.
