Mr. Redmond
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the future of the coastguard service in Yorkshire and Humberside from 1 January 1992.
Mr. McLoughlin
HM coastguard in Yorkshire and Humberside will continue to co-ordinate maritime search and rescue operations from its modern and well-equipped maritime rescue sub-centre—MRSC—at Bridlington, for the foreseeable future. Local resources are being reviewed with the aim of further improving the level of support given to the MRSC in its co-ordinating role from an efficient and well-trained sector and auxiliary coastguard organisation.
