Proceeding contribution from Angus Brendan MacNeil (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Coastguard Service.


Coastguard Service

I am heartened to hear that Liverpool and Belfast are not accepting the framework that the MCA has given them to set them at each other's throats. We have had the same situation between Stornaway and Shetland, and we are not accepting that, too. We in the Western Isles believe that Shetland should stay open 250 miles away because it is needed for the safety of mariners there. Stornaway should stay open as well. I am pleased that our message to the MCA is the same.
