Search And Rescue Flight-Raf Leuchars (No.4)
EDM number 1179 in 1992-93, proposed by Menzies Campbell on 18/01/1993.
That this House congratulates the officers and men of B Flight 22 Squadron stationed at RAF Leuchars on their remarkable contribution to the rescue efforts of 10 civilian authorities during recent periods of extreme weather; commends them for their professionalism, skill and bravery, notes that Her Majesty's Government proposes to withdraw search and rescue services from RAF Leuchars from 1st April 1993 and that as a result the level of rescue cover presently provided in the area surrounding the station will be substantially reduced with an inevitable increase in risk to the public and service personnel alike; and calls on Her Majesty's Government in the light of recent experience to rescind the decision for withdrawal of search and rescue from Leuchars.
This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
