Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress his department has made on the Post Implementation Review of the Equality Act 2010 (Work on Ships and Hovercraft) Regulations 2011; and whether that review has covered the matter of nationality-based pay discrimination against seafarers employed on UK-registered ships.
The Department plans to publish a Call for Evidence. It will cover the regulations under review including those relating specifically to seafarer pay on UK-Registered ships.
