It is a pleasure to serve under the chairmanship. I thank and congratulate the right hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland on bringing this issue before the House, which is important to his community in Shetland. The principle of having air ambulance or search and rescue available matters tremendously to rural or coastal communities. Funding to Maritime Coastguard Agency has gone up over the past few years with an ongoing £1.2 billion investment into search and rescue. A further £1.6 billion will be invested in maintaining and enhancing our search and rescue aviation fleet for the next 10 years through UK second-generation search and rescue aviation programme awarded to Bristow Helicopters in July 2022. No bases are being closed, with all existing bases continuing to provide a 24-hour search and rescue service supplemented by two new seasonal bases during summer months. Fixed-wing surveillance aircraft will be established at Newquay and Prestwick, equipped with maritime search technology; King Air B350 extended range will enhance capabilities in the mid-Atlantic region using innovative communication OneLink. An analysis of SAR incident data after UKSAR2G procurement has begun to assess potential impact on demand due to societal and economic upheaval during pandemic. Review of service areas against changes in demand, technical developments or innovations is allowed via contractual mechanisms and approval processes. Current helicopter bases in Scotland will remain open with additional fixed-wing capabilities and a seasonal base in north-west Scotland for enhancements. Leonardo AW189 provides high-endurance capability comparable to current Sikorsky S-92 operating at Sumburgh and Stornoway, following appropriate due diligence.
