Marine Management Organisation: Manpower

Volume 494: debated on Monday 15 June 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many members of staff of the Marine and Fisheries Agency have agreed to transfer to the Marine Management Organisation headquarters in Tyneside. (278885)

We will expect to know final numbers of MFA staff moving to the new headquarters once the relocation decision making exercise is completed. There will be a recruitment exercise to fill any vacancies created by the MFA headquarters relocation.

Subject to the passage of the Marine and Coastal Access Bill the new HQ will then form the headquarters of the Marine Management Organisation.
