Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether written ministerial direction for expenditure on the contingency planning for a no deal Brexit was requested, in particular for (1) contracting with shipping lines and port operators to operate additional services, (2) developing the port of Ramsgate, (3) the provision of ferries, and (4) any necessary dredging works.
No such direction has been required for any of these purposes.
