Maritime and Coastguard Agency: Recruitment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to ensure adequate numbers of personnel entering the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in the context of recently announced changes to remuneration.
Answered by Keir Mather
We deeply value and recognise the significant service Coastguard Rescue Officers provide along our coastline, and we will be supporting them during this transition. Where Coastguard Rescue Officers are unfortunately unable to continue, local teams will be supported to recruit and train new members. Volunteers will continue to receive training, equipment and operational support as well as uniforms and personal protective equipment, and be able to claim expenses.
