Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Coastguard Service.
Coastguard Service
The hon. Lady talks about the local knowledge of the Falmouth coastguards, but that is something that can be lost across the entirety of our coastline. My constituency includes Rathlin island, the only inhabited island off the coast of Northern Ireland. If the skills of the coastguards there are lost, it will mean the loss of many more lives around our coast. I agree wholeheartedly with the hon. Lady. Does she not agree that the proposals to pass co-ordination on to a yet-to-be-developed IT system and software system pose genuine concerns for the future protection of lives on our coast?
