Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when his Department last analysed capacity in the international roll-on roll-off commercial ferry market; and if he will publish the results of that analysis.

Capacity in the international roll-on roll-off commercial ferry market, particularly in relation to ferries capable of operating North Sea routes at short notice, is relatively limited. This is one of the reasons why we are preparing various contingencies in the unlikely event of a no-deal scenario.
