Brittany Ferries and DFDS
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Written Statement of 7 January 2019, Haulage Update, HCWS 1233, how much and what proportion of the monies awarded to (a) Brittany Ferries and (b) DFDS for the contingency transport provisions outlined in that Written Statement will be retained by the public purse in the event that the UK agrees a withdrawal agreement with the EU.
- Answer
-
The agreements with both Freight Operators are still live, and as a responsible Government we have a duty to prepare for all scenarios. In the event that a deal is implemented the Department will review its options and exercise its rights where appropriate, noting that the amount retained will be dependent on the specific scenario at the time.
