§ Mr. Muddasked the Minister for Trade if he is satisfied that the coastguard maritime rescue centre at Falmouth is adequately equipped in the field of vhf d/f provision without having to seek the support of outside civilian back-up.
§ Mr. SproatThe coastguard service is in the course of being equipped in this way. The Falmouth centre is directly linked to the equipment that has now been installed at Pendeen and from next autumn will have access—through the Brixham centre—to equipment that will be installed at Rame Head. Until then the Falmouth centre may well find it most helpful to call as need arises on my hon. Friend's constituent, Mr. Pilgrim, for the sort of assistance with his own equipment that he has so generously given in the past.
