Ferries: Minimum Wage

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what (a) enforcement powers and (b) access to enforcement bodies the Government plans to provide to British ports that refuse access to ferry companies that do not pay the national minimum wage.

Answer

We will publish in coming weeks a full public consultation that will detail our proposed enforcement regime, including the role of Ports and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. This will seek views on how this could work in practice and seek views on other workable solutions respondents have.
