No assessment has been made of the proposal referred to above.

On 14 July the Government set out revised proposals for the modernisation of Her Majesty's Coastguard. These provide for a single Maritime Operations Centre (MOC) to be located in the Southampton/Portsmouth area. The first consultation sought views about the proposal to base the MOC in the Southampton/Portsmouth area. The responses were used to inform the decision which was included as a settled matter in the revised proposal. Accordingly, the second consultation did not invite alternative proposals about the location of the MOC.
