Ports: Nationalisation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will take steps to nationalise ports operators in England.
- Answer
-
The UK ports industry is a highly successful, competitive, and a predominantly privately run sector. The sector has continually demonstrated its commitment to the UK through ongoing investment and enhancement to facilitate the 95% of imports and exports vital for the UK economy that arrive by sea. UK Ports have also played a key resilience role in keeping goods flowing through the pandemic and other recent challenges. There are no government plans to change the status of UK ports.
