Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 22 October 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Marine Training and Employment (River Thames).

Marine Training and Employment (River Thames)

I refer the House to my entry in the Register of Members' Interests with regard to the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers. The RMT has learned that some boat masters are being tested on parts of the river on which they never sail. It seems that this is being used almost as an income earner for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, rather than a genuine new regime for ensuring safety.
