Proceeding contribution from Sheryll Murray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Coastguard Modernisation.


Coastguard Modernisation

The Prime Minister told this House on 30 March:"““We want to make changes only if they improve coastguard support that people in fishing communities and elsewhere get…If that is not the case, we will obviously have to reconsider reforms””.—[Official Report, 30 March 2011; Vol. 526, c. 336.]" If, as many sea users at all levels from rear admirals to professional yachtsmen believe, the trial of a new control centre demonstrates the loss of local knowledge to be an added danger to any sea user, will the Minister reconsider his plans for closing any coastguard co-ordination centres, as the Prime Minister has already mentioned?
