Against that background the Maritime and Coastguard Agency does not collate or maintain data in respect of cumulative response times either locally or nationally. However it can provide specific response times for specific incidents.</p><p> </p><p>In a typical year there are between 12,000 and 14,000 incidents to which a CRT will be required to respond.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 14/06/2016 13:32:56 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
