HC Deb 20 November 1961 vol 649 c92W
Sir L. Plummer

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he is satisfied that design staff working on vessels outside the three-mile limit are classified as mariners by his Regulations under the Industrial Injuries Act, and are therefore entitled in case of injury to full coverage; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Yes, provided they are engaged in this country and are employed on board for the purposes of the vessel.
