HM Coastguard: Pay
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions her Department held with representatives of Coastguard Rescue Officers before the recently announced changes to remuneration were made.
Answered by Keir Mather
There has been significant engagement through the Maritime and Coastguard Agency with the Coastguard Rescue Service over the past few months leading up to and since the Court of Appeal judgement, on the implications for the service, and since the changes to the model were communicated to members. This has included continual engagement through Area Management Teams, senior leadership visits and national representative forums, as well as two all-member surveys which played a direct part in understanding the impact of models upon the service. His Majesty’s Coastguard will continue to engage closely over the coming weeks to help members understand what the new changes mean for them as individuals.
