Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the contracts they signed with ferry operators for the provision of services in the event of a no-deal Brexit specified the date of Brexit as 29 March; whether those contracts would have to be renegotiated if Brexit is delayed; and if so, what estimate they have made of the potential cost of any such renegotiation.
The contracts do not specify the date of Brexit, but services will commence on 29 March. If there is a delay to Brexit, it will be for the parties to consider the nature of the delay, and whether to agree modifications in the light of changed circumstances.
