PAY PRACTICES IN THE UK MARITIME SECTOR

That this House is appalled that in the 21st century ships, including ferry services, which regularly trade on fixed routes between UK ports and between the UK and Europe, are allowed to pay poverty wages substantially below the minimum wage to non-UK seafarers including rates as little as £1.50 per hour; is dismayed that this super-exploitation is legal as a result of a loophole in the Race Relations Act which allows non-UK seafarers to be paid rates below agreed UK levels and also due to the exemption of seafarers from the National Minimum Wage; urges the Government to bring forward amendments to the Equality Bill to outlaw this discrimination and to reform the Race Relations Act as it applies to seafarers; and calls on the Government to bring forward immediately legislation to ensure that non-UK seafarers are protected by the provisions of the national minimum wage.
