As the Mission to Seafarers was celebrating its 150th Anniversary at a service in Westminster Abbey, an all-party group of MPs, led by Shadow Minister for Shipping Julian Brazier, praised the work of the Mission. Tabling an Early Day Motion, Brazier said, 'This charity, and its Catholic sister the Apostleship of the Sea, works tirelessly to support seafarers across the globe. Being at sea is a dangerous life, they need all the support we can give them.'
