Proceeding contribution from Alan Brown (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 March 2019. It occurred during Emergency debate on EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts.
EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts
I thank the hon. Lady for her intervention, which proves either that she does not listen or that the Transport Secretary does not understand the meaning of spending money. It actually resulted in an out-of-court settlement of £33 million, in legal fees—we still have to hear how much—in further risk to the Government and in the due diligence costs. That seems to be quite a hefty expenditure loosely related to the Seaborne contract.
