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

One of the great things about having the RNLI is that it is a brand known worldwide and a fantastic facility. However, little is known in this country about the volunteer lifeboats. There are huge numbers, including the one that I visited and went out to sea on at Caister recently, where the crew desperately tried to make me seasick, unsuccessfully. I can assure the House that not only will the facility be as good as it is now, but it will be better.
