Ministerial CorrectionsCan I ask the roads Minister about the lower Thames crossing project? In particular, what steps is the DFT taking to ensure that companies such as Murphy Group respect basic workers’ rights to join a trade union when bidding for major transport contracts?
The Minister of State, Department for Transport, my right hon. Friend the Member for Hereford and South Herefordshire (Jesse Norman), who is the Minister for the future of transport, met Murphy Group this week.

Letter of correction from the Under-Secretary of State for Transport, the hon. Member for North West Durham (Mr Holden).
An error has been identified in my response to the hon. Member for Easington (Grahame Morris).
The correct response should have been:
The Minister of State, Department for Transport, my right hon. Friend the Member for Hereford and South Herefordshire (Jesse Norman), who is the Minister for the future of transport, met with Matt Palmer, executive director of lower Thames crossing, to discuss LTC this week.
