All vessels must be adequately manned for their safe operation, with due regard for the nature of their operation and their location.</p><p> </p><p>The MCA ensures that all roll-on roll-off ferries are correctly and safely manned from a combination of factors determined by the safe manning levels needed to deal with any potential emergency on that vessel as required by the relevant international regulations. The preparedness of the crew is tested by means of a physical drill witnessed by MCA Marine Surveyors<strong>. </strong></p><p> </p><p>(b) The non-UK Red Ensign registers, the MCA is not directly responsible for agreeing the safe crewing levels.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/01/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The Jeffrey Review clearly identifies a number of challenges for criminal advocacy services. The Government is committed to working with the profession in the first half of 2015 to make progress on reforms that will ensure the legal aid advocacy market operates competitively, sustainably and in such a way as to optimise quality. In particular, the Government proposes to take steps to ensure that defendants in criminal cases always have an informed and effective choice of the advocate who is to represent them. The Government also proposes to take measures to strengthen the current ban by the Legal Aid Agency on the payment or receipt of referral fees and to address any potential conflicts of interest. We want to make sure that defendants are fully aware of the choices available to them and that only advocates who are sufficiently qualified by their training and experience represent defendants in cases in the Crown Court.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 06/01/2015 11:39:17 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
