Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the recommendations in the Countryside Commission's Special Study Report, Volume I, paragraphs 166–171, on Water Safety, he will invite the Committee which is reviewing the Search and Rescue Organisations in the United Kingdom to expedite its report.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The Committee is aware of the serious problems raised by the rapid growth of water-based recreation in coastal areas. It hopes to report by the end of the year.
