Written Question
Shipping: Slavery
Tuesday 19th December 2017

Asked by: Lord Coaker (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what measures the Maritime and Coastguard Agency has implemented to support victims of slavery found on vessels in British waters.

Answered by John Hayes

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s (MCA’s) powers allow them to enforce merchant shipping legislation, which includes legislation on living and working conditions for seafarers and fishermen, on UK ships anywhere in the world and non-UK ships in UK waters. Where the MCA identifies conditions on board in respect of which these powers are not sufficient or appropriate, the Agency has processes in place to refer the case to the police or the National Crime Agency who investigate cases of organised Modern Day Slavery and labour abuse. In addition, the MCA would ensure that welfare organisations are made aware so that they can provide the appropriate practical and pastoral support.

Written Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of rail journey times between Nottingham and Derby as a result of High Speed 2; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Paul Maynard

The Department recognises the importance of direct rail connections between Derby and Nottingham, so will maintain such services. Exact service provision will be confirmed before the opening of HS2 in 2033.
