Proceeding contribution from Andy McDonald (Labour) 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

Was the hon. Gentleman as surprised as I was to hear that no costs had been incurred in this? He has highlighted the £800,000 that was paid out to consultants, but there was also the cost of dredging the port. We were told by the permanent secretary that that was paid for by Seaborne, yet the contract was cancelled. Is the hon. Gentleman as surprised as I am that Seaborne bore the cost of that itself—or was it borne by someone else?
