Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Coastguard Modernisation.
Coastguard Modernisation
The Aberdeen station is not fully manned as a MOC today. It is a co-ordination centre. Under the previous proposals, if we had taken out the second MOC there would have been 23 staff in Scotland, whereas 69 will be working for me at the co-ordination centres in Scotland. We considered carefully whether we would need a second MOC if we kept the twin stations open 24/7, and decided that, with the twin stations open and a nationally resilient communications system, we did not need a full-time second MOC.
