Our presentation to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Maritime and Ports was a tremendous success yesterday.
We raised the very pressing question ‘How secure is our coastline?’ to Lords and MPs at the Houses of Parliament. Nearly 50 attendees from a variety of organisations and businesses packed the committee room for the hearing.
Our presentation by TMG managing director Malcolm Parrott and Tony Birr, business director of our joint venture partners State 21, triggered a very interesting debate.
Admiral Lord West, a former First Sea Lord, was among those who spoke of the need for a centralised capability of command and control on the basis of centralised intelligence.
Others in attendance included Lord Wrigglesworth, Jim Fitzpatrick MP, James Gray MP and the Earl of Cork and Orrery.
The TMG delegation included Joint Venture Partner and MD of State 21 Richard Rowland and Joanna Parrott from TMG.
