EDM number 319 in 2010-12, proposed by John McDonnell on 24/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Incomes and poverty, Racial discrimination and Shipping.

That this House welcomes the Government's publication of the independent external review of evidence submitted to the consultation on regulations to end discriminatory pay on UK ships; further welcomes the recommendation of the review that the practice of nationality-based pay differentials for seafarers be outlawed altogether on UK ships; believes that no UK industry should be permitted to ignore legislation on non-discrimination and notes that this discrimination has resulted in rates of pay below the national minimum wage on UK ships; and therefore urges the Government to endorse the findings of the independent external review and to bring forward regulations to end this discrimination as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
