Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many UK domiciled (a) ratings and (b) officers were employed on tonnage tax qualifying vessels on the UK Ship Register in each year between 2001-02 and 2020-21.
This Department does not hold figures relating to UK domicile. However the companies within Tonnage Tax are required to submit figures based on nationality as part of their Core Training Commitment. The figures for UK nationality on UK vessels within Tonnage Tax as reported to the Department are as follows:
