HC Deb 28 November 1962 vol 668 c45W
4. Mr. A. Royle

asked the Secretary of State for Air if he will arrange that owners of vessels will be liable to pay up to the value of their property towards the expense incurred by Royal Air Force helicopters and air-sea rescue launches during rescue operations.

Mr. H. Fraser

Salvage claims are made in appropriate cases. We do not, of course, make any claim for saving life.
