Government support for mountain rescue
Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)
A Westminster Hall debate on government support for mountain rescue services. Lisa Smart (Liberal Democrat) is raising questions about how the government funds and supports the volunteers and infrastructure that perform mountain rescue operations across the UK's mountainous regions.
Mountain rescue is a critical emergency service that relies heavily on volunteer-staffed teams. This debate will examine whether current government funding and support mechanisms are adequate, affecting public safety in upland areas and the sustainability of rescue operations that save lives annually across the country.
