Dorset MP Richard Drax says he hopes the new Transport Secretary will take a 'fresh look' at the decision to axe the county's search and rescue helicopter.

He's written to Justine Greening's replacement Patrick McLoughlin and new minister Stephen Hammond - following this month's government reshuffle.

Mister Drax argues it'll cost lives if the Portland centre is ditched for a regional base in Hampshire - because the chopper will have so far to fly to some incidents.
