NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) is a UK government agency responsible for maritime safety and coastguard services. The distinction between volunteer and non-volunteer coastguards is significant, as it affects how these services are funded, managed, and held accountable. The MCA's classification of coastguards has implications for the government's oversight and responsibility for these critical services.

Joe Robertson: Our coastguards aren’t volunteers, and the MCA should stop pretending otherwise
The MCA’s conduct has been appalling. But ministers cannot outsource their accountability to an agency, particularly one the Government now knows has misrepresented the views of the very people it is responsible for. Good government means taking responsibility.
