Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
Since the amendment would confer individual rights on seafarers working on non-UK flagged ships that would be enforceable in UK courts, it is important that we consider the legal consequences of this. In particular, we would need to carefully consider the international law implications. It is important that we chart the right course between protecting seafarers connected to the UK and making sure that our framework is legally robust.
