Proceeding contribution from Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 July 2026. It occurred during Debate on Coastguard Volunteers: Remuneration and HMRC Guidance.

Coastguard Volunteers: Remuneration and HMRC Guidance

Apologies for de-knighting you earlier, Sir Alec. I thank all hon. Members who took part in the debate and recognise in particular the contribution from the hon. Member for Arbroath and Broughty Ferry (Lara Bird). We welcome her to the community of Westminster Hall.

I did not remember to count early enough, but I think that we had at least 32 Members of Parliament in this Chamber at the start. In addition, I had indications from the hon. Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Torcuil Crichton), my hon. Friend the Member for South Devon (Caroline Voaden) and the hon. Members for Scarborough and Whitby (Alison Hume) and for Gower (Tonia Antoniazzi) that they would have been here also.
