Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what contingency plans his Department has implemented in the event that Bristow's Helicopters Ltd is unable to fulfil its obligations on search and rescue.
The Department keeps its contingency plans under continual review should Bristow Helicopters Ltd be at any time unable to fulfil its contractual obligations.
These plans include comprehensive contractual provisions to step in and take over the service in the unlikely event that it is required to do so. The detail of these plans is commercially sensitive.
