Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Coastguard Modernisation.


Coastguard Modernisation

The hon. Gentleman talks of ““using the existing network””, but, as I have just explained, there are no existing networks except between the paired stations. He talks of the local knowledge at Crosby, and asks why we have not applied the principle of retaining it there. We have: we are retaining the station at Holyhead, which is paired with Crosby and routinely operates in tandem with it, using the same areas of local knowledge around the north Wales coast and Liverpool bay area which both stations cover.
