Ian Lavery – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ian Lavery on 2015-10-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many officials in his Department were involved in preparatory work for London International Shipping Week 2015.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The Departmental team of three who lead on maritime promotion and partnership worked on the preparatory work for London International Shipping Week 2015, among their other duties, and were overseen by a Senior Civil Servant.

Due to the importance, scale and complexity of the week, the core team received ad hoc support and advice from across the Department and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, many of whom were volunteers and assisted alongside their day to day duties.
