The majority of MPs voted against devolving the powers relating to Scottish elements of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to the Scottish Government.
MPs were considering the Scotland Bill[1]. The proposed new clause[2] rejected in this vote sought to treat the Maritime and Coastguard Agency as a Cross-Border Public Authority and devolve responsibilities relating to it to Scotland.
The proposed new clause included:
- The funding, operation and planning authority of Maritime and Coastguard Agency facilities in Scotland shall reside with the Scottish Government and the appropriate Scottish Minister.
- These parts of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency which are the responsibility of Scottish Government shall be known as the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (Scotland).
