§ Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Trade what will be the purpose of extra Coastguard watch on the Pentland Firth when the whole area will soon be under radar surveillance.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisI welcome the decision of the Orkney Islands Council to extend the range of its harbour radar. I am still considering whether the volume of traffic now using the Pentland Firth would justify any extension of Coastguard activity in the area.
