17. Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has to modify the legislation and regulations governing the occupational safety of the crews of both United Kingdom registered merchant vessels and fishing vessels. [15706]

Mr. Norris

Domestic legislation governing the occupational safety of crews in United Kingdom merchant ships and fishing vessels is under continuous review through the Marine Safety Agency. In addition, further modification to United Kingdom legislation is being undertaken through the implementation of EU directives in consultation with the shipping and fishing industries.
