(asked on 18th January 2021) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to mitigate any economic impact resulting from Stena Line’s cancellation of Irish Sea sailings.
This question was answered on 26th January 2021
The Department is aware of the sharp drop in ferry passengers resulting from the Covid-19 lockdowns. Currently, there are no plans in place to respond to Stena Line's cancellation of Irish Sea sailings. Generally, ferry operators adjust their schedules in response to demand and Stena Line has acted accordingly in this case. The demand is being kept under review and we expect the sailing to be reinstated when demand increases again.
