Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alistair Carmichael (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 11 March 2002, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 50 members in total.
MARITIME SKILLS AND EXPERTISE
That this House believes that as an island nation Britain needs maritime skills and expertise; that the United Kingdom at present faces a critical shortage of recruits into the maritime industry and as a result there is an over-reliance upon flag of convenience shipping which brings with it risks of poorer working conditions and safety procedures; congratulates the Union NUMAST on its current campaign highlighting these issues; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to introduce measures designed to improve recruitment and working conditions onboard all the ships using our ports and waters.
