Proceeding contribution from Sarah Wollaston (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 February 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Coastguard Service.

Coastguard Service

I want to talk about Brixham maritime rescue co-ordination centre and its importance. Last year it co-ordinated more than 1,300 search and rescue incidents, assisting more than 1,900 people and saving more than 350 lives; 78% of those incidents were inshore or shoreline. Those are the incidents that need local knowledge, as I think all hon. Members would agree.
