Proceeding contribution from Nia Griffith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Coastguard Modernisation.
Coastguard Modernisation
Choosing to close one of each pair is more like a party game—or ““The Apprentice””—than any rationale for designing a service. I do not want either Milford Haven or Swansea to close, but given what my hon. Friend the Member for Gower (Martin Caton) said about Swansea's expertise in covering the whole of the Bristol channel and north Devon and the volume of its work compared with that of Milford Haven, am I to understand from the Secretary of State's comments that he has made his decision not on who is best qualified and most experienced to do the job, but on what alternative employment is available, and is that really a rationale for providing the best service to the public?
