Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Coastguard Service.


Coastguard Service

It is important to emphasise for the historical record that, in 1994, the then chief coastguard, Commander Derek Ancona, told the Select Committee on Transport that the importance of local knowledge should not be underestimated, and that point needs to be taken on board.
