Marine Navigation (No. 2) Bill

Debate between Richard Ottaway and Sheryll Murray

Friday 30th November 2012 Commons Chamber

[Sheryll Murray]

Has my hon. Friend not heard of battery-operated and rechargeable VHF radios? Will he assure me that he is not suggesting that anyone should go to sea without carrying a VHF radio to communicate with others for safety purposes?

[Richard Ottaway]

I have to say to my hon. Friend that I suspect that the vast majority of boat movements around the south coast of Britain on any given weekend are undertaken by boats that are not carrying a radio. The fact that she is unaware of that gives me huge cause for alarm.
