Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of coastguards opting for voluntary redundancy as part of the coastguard reform programmes received their redundancy payment within 30 days of leaving the service.

84 Coastguards have left the service on voluntary redundancy as part of the changes to Her Majesty’s Coastguard.

Payments associated with voluntary redundancy are the responsibility of MyCSP and not the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). The MCA does not have access to records relating to the speed of those payments.
