Transport written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what responses he has received to his Department's consultation on the future of the coastguard; and what assessment he has made of those submissions.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) received just under 780 formal responses, together with a number of petitions and campaign letters on specific issues. The independent review team that was formed to review the proposals associated with the first consultation has reconvened and are categorising the responses to the second consultation.
An analysis report will be prepared as soon as possible, on the basis of which the MCA will put forward recommendations for consideration by Ministers.
As with the first consultation all of these responses will be published as soon as possible.
