Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he plans to take to support Eurostar during the covid-19 pandemic.

Ministers and officials, working with other Government Departments, have engaged extensively with Eurostar since March 2020 in relation to their financial situation and to help the company access Government support schemes where it is eligible and appropriate.

We continue to engage, at both official and Ministerial level, with Eurostar and the French government regarding Eurostar’s financial situation and any potential support proposals.
