The below Parliamentary question was asked by Richard Burden on 2016-03-23.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February 2016 to Question 25958, when he expects the revised guidance on the national minimum wage for seafarers to be published; and when he last discussed that matter with the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The publication of the guidance is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS).

My officials have been working collaboratively with officials in BIS and the draft revised guidance has now been submitted to key stakeholders, including employee and employer representatives, for comment. BIS has stated that it remains on target to publish the guidance in spring 2016.
