§ Mr. TrimbleTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what rescue facilities exist on large lakes; and what support is offered by the Government to rescue services on large lakes.
§ Mr. NorrisI have been asked to reply.
Rescue facilities on large lakes vary locally. My Department does not provide support to rescue services but marine district safety committees, which cover the whole of the United Kingdom, have been carrying out a wide-ranging review of the way in which responsibilities for safety, rescue and accident prevention are presently distributed.
