This does not do anything more to reassure me or the people of the south-east region. The Minister of State has stated there has been much ill-informed comment. I suggest the response she has given has ill-informed the public. She has mentioned there is co-ordination with UK search and rescue services. I have news for her. Services are also being diminished in the south-west region of the United Kingdom where helicopter services are being relocated inland.
