	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2024 answer text <p>In 2023, the Government passed the Seafarers’ Wages Act to address this issue. Based on data and assumptions used in the Seafarers’ Wages Act 2023 impact assessment (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62e2aa8ed3bf7f75af0923d5/seafarers-wages-impact-assessment.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62e2aa8ed3bf7f75af0923d5/seafarers-wages-impact-assessment.pdf</a>), the Department for Transport estimates that there are 9,400 non-qualifying seafarers working on vessels in scope of the Seafarers Wages Act 2023. A non-qualifying seafarer is defined as all other seafarers on vessels within scope of The Seafarers’ Wages Act 2023, that do not directly benefit from the policy, because it is estimated that they are not currently at risk of being paid below the National Minimum Wage equivalent (NMWe).</p><p>An updated version of the impact assessment will be published in due course.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 11/03/2024 15:24:16 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
