Proceeding contribution from Anne McGuire (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Backbench debate on Coastguard Service.


Coastguard Service

The problem is not just phonetics or pronunciation. In Wales and in Scotland—the hon. Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Mr MacNeil) is here—there are different languages, which are used to describe the areas where people fish and that tankers run through. Knowledge of the geography of an area is important, but so is understanding the basis of the language.
