Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he intends to announce a new programme of funding for the inshore and inland rescue boat grant.
The Inshore and Inland Rescue Boat Grant Fund has already awarded 201 grants totalling £3.6 million to 98 charities around the UK.
We are currently engaged in the 2018-19 bidding round where a further £1 million is available to support these charities.
A decision on funding for future years will be taken in due course.
