Motion text

That this House believes that the Government's announcement that it intends to close Swansea Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre (Coastguard Station) threatens the safety of people using the waters and coast around the Bristol Channel; notes that this decision was made without undertaking a risk assessment exercise; welcomes the call from Wales First Minister for such a risk assessment to be made; notes his offer for the Welsh Government to co-finance this; and urges the Secretary of State for Transport to respond positively.
