Ministers in the Department meet with officials from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency on a regular basis to discuss the work of the agency. In particular I met with officials on Thursday 10 January, and during that meeting matters relating to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) were discussed. More recently, I met with representatives from the shipping industry and other Government Departments on Monday 11 March to discuss growth opportunities for the UK maritime sector. This included ratification of the MLC.
