Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when his Department reviewed the regulations governing seafarer medical certificates.
The regulations are kept under continuous review, but in particular, implementing the Merchant Shipping (Maritime Labour Convention) (Medical Certification) Regulations, 2010, provided the opportunity for a review of the process to ensure compliance with the international Conventions. Further amendments were made in 2018. A statutory post-implementation review is currently underway, due for publication in due course.
