Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he last met representatives of P&O Ferries; and what recent assessment he has made of the future viability of the ferry routes that that company operates from UK ports.
The Secretary of State has not met with representatives of P&O Ferries.
The Department works closely with ports and operators across the Maritime sector to understand the market and any potential sources of disruption. We have not however made a specific assessment of the viability of P&O Ferries’ routes to or from UK ports.
