Business of the House

Business question from Albert Owen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 November 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Last Tuesday I had the honour of opening the new search and rescue force headquarters at RAF Valley in my constituency. On that day, an international conference took place enabling delegates from all over the world to learn from the British way, which is the best way when it comes to rescue. My right hon. and learned Friend will be aware that the search and rescue force works with a number of partners, including the police and agencies such as the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Will she join me in applauding that agency’s professionalism? May we have a debate on the wages and conditions of those professional people, many of whom survive on an income just above the minimum wage?
