National Minimum Wage (Seafarers)

Norman Lamb Excerpts

Tuesday 19th June 2012 Written Statements

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills (Norman Lamb)]

I have today published an updated policy statement on enforcement of the national minimum wage (NMW). The statement confirms that the Government will enforce the NMW on behalf of seafarers who ordinarily work in the UK and sets out our approach to determining whether this is the case.

I have arranged for copies of the updated policy statement to be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
