Renewable Energy: Seas and Oceans
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending UK workers rights to people working offshore on renewable energy projects.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Government is committed to the protection of workers’ rights and is delivering an ambitious set of reforms to ensure workplace rights are fit for a modern economy, empower working people, and contribute to economic growth. Whether workers are covered by UK employment law is dependent upon the worker establishing a sufficient connection to Great Britain. The Government will give further consideration to the issue raised in due course.
