HC Deb 28 March 1969 vol 780 c380W
Mr. Milne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will undertake a reappraisal of the lifesaving techniques used by those engaged in rescue work at sea; and if he will give consideration to requiring the inclusion of a frogman as a member of lifeboat crews.

Mr. William Rodgers

The inclusion of a frogman as a member of life-boat crews is a matter for the Royal National Life-boat Institution and I understand that they are at present considering this. The improvement of life-saving techniques used in rescue work at sea is always in our minds.
