Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on support for haulage firms that transport goods internationally.
This Department is working closely with the Department for Transport and the Devolved Administrations to support industry and continue the flow of critical freight for the whole of the UK.
On 24 April, the Government announced a package of support https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-government-package-to-protect-ferry-freight-routes on up to 31 critical freight routes between Great Britain, Northern Ireland and mainland Europe, which will help to maintain capacity on these vital transport routes. Ministers are working with industry and the Devolved Administrations to keep this scheme under regular review.
