HC Deb 03 April 1984 vol 57 cc444-5W
Mr. Viggers

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what plans exist for the replacement of the coastguard rescue sub-centre at the Needles.

Mr. David Mitchell

A new rescue sub-centre, to be known as Solent MRSC, is to be established at Lee-on-Solent in premises no longer required by the Ministry of Defence. The new centre will absorb the responsibilities of the existing sub-centres at the Needles and Shoreham by Sea.
