Proceeding contribution from Eilidh Whiteford (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 June 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Greenock Coastguard Station.
Greenock Coastguard Station
I agree with the Minister that it is very important that we have a coastguard service that is fit for the 21st century, but I would put it to him that all the other emergency services in Scotland are devolved and one way to protect smaller stations, such as Inverclyde, might be to amend the Scotland Bill to devolve the operation of the coastguard agency in Scotland. That would mean that the services could properly address our vast coastline, in line with people's expectations in Scotland.
