Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his Department's statistical release, Seafarers in the UK Shipping Industry: 2017, published on 30 May 2018, how many member companies of the UK Chamber of Shipping did not provide employment data for inclusion in that statistical release.
The 2017 UK Chamber of Shipping manpower survey was issued to 90 companies, with around 95% of these providing a response of some form. In some cases, companies did not provide employment data as they do not have seafarers within scope of the survey.
