Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with his French counterpart on providing financial support to Eurostar during the covid-19 lockdown announced in January 2021.
Ministers and officials, working with other Government Departments, have engaged extensively with Eurostar since March 2020 in relation to their financial situation.
We continue to engage, at both official and Ministerial level, with Eurostar and the French government regarding Eurostar’s financial situation and any potential support proposals.
