Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has for (a) continuation and (b) replacement of the Rescue Boat Grant Fund after March 2020.
The Rescue Boat Grant Fund has already awarded £4.7 million to 103 charities around the UK.
We have already extended the Fund by making a further £1 million available for 2019-20 and I expect to announce the successful applicants shortly.
A decision on the future of the Fund will be taken in due course.
