Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
To conclude, as stated, the unions are concerned that not enough seafarers will have the full protection that they deserve. For example—this is a question for my noble friend the Minister—are seafarers working on a Cyprus-registered ferry between the UK and a non-UK port covered by Clause 26? I would like a response on that specific question, in writing if necessary. This is all about what we are doing after the P&O Ferries scandal. I ask the Government to make available a summary of their advice on the circumstances in which seafarers working on ferries regularly calling at UK ports from non-UK ports will be covered with Clause 26, which is the fire and rehire clause.
