Under what conditions do seamen in a UK ship have a statutory right to complain to the master, and what is the master required to do about any rightful complaint?

If three or more seamen in a UK ship consider that the provisions or water supplied are not in accordance with regulations (because of bad quality, unfitness for use or deficiency in quantity), they may complain to the master. The master must investigate the complaint. (MSA 1995, s. 44(1))
