Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what reports he has received of operational difficulties arising from the Belfast Coastguard's expanded area of coverage.
This question was answered on 27th November 2014
I am aware of Parliamentary Questions and correspondence from some Honourable Members of this House about staffing levels at Belfast Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre since its area of operation was expanded. I meet regularly with the Chief Executive of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and senior Coastguard officials who provide me with assurance on Her Majesty’s Coastguard matters.
