Clyde Coastguard Closure

The motion

That the Parliament notes with concern the recent decision by the UK Government to close the Clyde coastguard facility in Greenock, Inverclyde; considers that the Tall Ships event highlighted how much potential there is in the Clyde and that the decision to close the coastguard station risks the safety of those waters; further considers that the Clyde is an increasingly busy waterway, with ferries, naval vessels, nuclear submarines, industry and tourist boats all using the waters, and believes that closing the Clyde coastguard station is reckless and misguided and shows that the UK Government continues to miss the point of local coastguard services.
