Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency on fee levels for (a) merchant seafarer training and certification and (b) merchant vessel survey and inspection work.
In autumn 2016, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) held a six-week targeted consultation on increasing MCA’s Fees and Charges.
We are continuing to work on the Government response to this consultation and will make an announcement in due course.
