HC Deb 11 March 1986 vol 93 c413W
58. Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will arrange for a helicopter to be based for rescue purposes at one of the airports in the Western Isles.

Mr. Ridley

As I have already informed the House, following the loss of the Bon Ami, I have asked the United Kingdom search and rescue committee to consider helicopter coverage of the seas off the north-west of Scotland.
