HC Deb 13 October 1975 vol 897 cc620-1W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the Air-Sea Rescue units operating in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Deakins

The facilities available for civil marine search and rescue at the beginning of 1975 are fully described in the handbook recently published by my Department and entitled "United Kingdom marine search and rescue organisation 1975". The air-sea rescue units include Royal Navy helicopters at Lee-on-Solent, Culdrose and Prestwick; RAF helicopters at Lossiemouth, Leuchars, Achlington, Leconfield, Coltishall, Chivenor, Brawdy, Valley and Manston; RAF Nimrod aircraft at St. Mawgan or Kinloss; and a British Airways longrange helicopter at Aberdeen.
