That the Parliament notes with concern the reported proposal by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to end paid remuneration for coastguard rescue officers attending emergency call-outs and training; recognises the vital role that coastguard rescue officers play in protecting lives across Scotland’s coastal, island and rural communities, including in Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, where Coastguard Rescue Service stations include Canna, Duntulm, Dunvegan, Eigg, Fort William, Kilchoan, Knoydart, Kyle of Lochalsh, Lochaline, Mallaig, Muck, Portree, Rhum and Salen; understands that the proposal comes only a few months after a legal case supported by GMB union confirmed that coastguard rescue officers have worker status when attending call-outs and training; believes that workers’ rights secured through legal action should not be undermined by removing the payment arrangements attached to that work; considers that the proposal risks damaging morale, weakening resilience and driving experienced responders away from the Coastguard Rescue Service; believes that coastguard rescue officers deserve respect, support and proper consultation, and calls on the UK Government to intervene, pause the proposals and ensure full consultation with coastguard rescue officers and their trade union.
