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
I am very aware of the unique geographical situation and size of Northern Ireland's inland waterways. That is one of the reasons why I gave careful consideration to the question of whether it should be Belfast or Liverpool, and why we kept Belfast. The other reason was the unique situation of a border with another EU member state. Also, Belfast has shown time and again its ability to cover for the Clyde so that the pairing system works.
