Question
13. Whether she is taking steps to support the work of the RNLI.
Answer
This Government are proud to support the RNLI and the work of its volunteers to save lives at sea. The RNLI is a charity that is independent of Government, but it is a crucial delivery partner of His Majesty’s Coastguard’s maritime search and rescue service. I greatly value the contribution of the RNLI and all its volunteers and staff for their lifesaving efforts and wholeheartedly thank them for their service.50% vibes
Verdict: AMBER (30/100)
The reply discusses the RNLI and its role as a delivery partner of HM Coastguard's search and rescue service. It does not name any specific action, funding, or programme the department will take to support the charity, so the question is only partly answered. The asker would likely need to follow up to find out what concrete support is being offered.
