The UK was required to implement this Directive as a member of the European Union.</p><p>The regulations introduce the requirement on shipping companies to inform the competent authorities of the flag State of seafarer redundancies. The period in which such notice should be given is 45 days’ notice where there are 100 or more redundancies planned. This gives the authorities an opportunity to engage with employer and employees to identify what assistance can be provided.</p><p>The Government is strongly committed protecting UK seafarers and those who work in UK waters continue to be protected by National Minimum Wage laws despite the 2018 legal change. The Secretary of State made a statement in Parliament on Wednesday 30 March regarding a further package of measures the UK Government is introducing to ensure there is no repeat of P&amp;O Ferries actions.</p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Robert Courts question first answered 20/04/2022 08:36:04 answering member 4589 label Biography information for Robert Courts
