Rescue Services: Coastal Areas and Rural Areas
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment has been made of the impact on remote and rural coastal communities of small coast guard teams that face recruitment challenges.
Answered by Department for Transport
HM Coastguard continues to closely monitor leavers, recruitment and retention. The focus of DfT and MCA remains to maintain a robust, effective search and rescue response along the UK coastline.
