Ms Perham: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what regulations govern the practice of
placing passengers' luggage in corridors outside cabins on cruise ships; and if he will make a statement. [105186]
Mr. Hill: In the case of a UK flag ship, there are general provisions in the Merchant, Shipping and Fishing (Health and Safety at
Work) Regulations 1997 (SI 1997 No. 2962) about providing and maintaining a safe environment for persons aboard ship. There are also
relevant provisions in the Merchant Shipping (Safe Movement on Board Ship) Regulations 1988 (SI 1988 No. 1641); for example
regulation 4 provides that "the employer and master shall ensure that safe means of access is provided and maintained to any place
on the ship to which a person may be expected to go". Such provisions are enforceable on UK ships wherever they may be and could
cover matters such as a safety hazard caused by luggage in corridors. In the case of a non-UK ship, the requirements will depend on
the provisions in the regulations of the state where the ship is registered. As the UK requirements implement provisions contained
in the International Labour Organisation Convention 147, they may also be enforced on a non-UK ship while in a UK port.
