That this House congratulates the Royal National Lifeboat Institution on the completion of the first year of its free safety equipment advisory check service, in which more than 2,300 boat owners requested face-to-face advice on safety equipment; regards this as an excellent example of prevention being better than cure; welcomes the aim of expanding the scheme to some 20,000 SEA checks per year; and applauds the contribution of its 10 full-time co-ordinators and 400 experienced volunteers who currently provide the SEA check service.
