TSC report on the proposed Coastguard cuts.



Today sees the publication of the TSC's (Transport Select Committee) findings on the revised re-organisation of HMC - the service that maintains a watch on the shipping lanes and traffic off coastline UK.  Initially, the consultation document contained proposals that would see Falmouth lose its 24/7 operational coverage and Brixham close altogether in accordance with the Government's desire to centralise the CG service by using technology to replace the need for regional stations.


First of today's reports from the BBC.
