Urgent question from SNP transport spokesperson Alan Brown

Key Points: 
  • This follows reports that the Department for Transport has cancelled ferry contracts intended to ensure that key imports could continue in the case of a no-deal Brexit.
  • The Government's handling ofno-deal ferry contractswas previously criticised after a contract was awarded to a company - Seaborne Freight - with no ships, which was later cancelled.
  • [...] That represents around 1% of the overall 4bn package of no-deal EU exit preparations which this Government has wisely taken to ensure we are ready for all eventualities."
  • In actual fact, these ferry contracts overall are going to cost probably up to 120mn depending on the P&O settlement.
