Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make a disqualification order against the chief executive of P&O Ferries.
The Insolvency Service has commenced formal investigations into the circumstances surrounding the recent redundancies made by P&O Ferries. My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State does not have the power to make a disqualification order; these are made by the courts if the relevant legal tests are met.
