Business question from Gwyn Prosser (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
A series of strikes, blockades and stoppages by French workers in Calais is causing massive disruption to Dover and to Dover's cross-channel ferries today and over the coming bank holiday weekend. The M20 has been closed again in order to stack up vehicles. My colleagues and I have raised these matters with Ministers and with Kent county council over a long period of time, but progress in resolving this serious problem has been very slow. It is a problem not only for Dover but for the road haulage system generally and for UK Ltd. May we have a debate in Government time to discuss the matter further?
