To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 2 February 2024 to Question 12083 on Fishing Vessels: Surveillance, what the cost was of aviation undertaken by (a) Maritime and Coastguard Agency and (b) DWF lawyers (i) in the preparation of these cases and (ii) for other associated reasons in 2023.
Guy Opperman
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Flights operate to support all areas of MCA business including Search and Rescue, counter pollution, and law enforcement/assurance, and the purpose of these flights is not exclusive to the PPE regulations. It is therefore not possible to provide a breakdown specifically related to this issue. DWF lawyers do not undertake flights for these purposes.
