Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to cancel his Department's contract with Seaborne Freight given that the terms of the contract specify a delivery date of 29 March 2019.

There are no plans to cancel the Seaborne Freight contract. Seaborne Freight need to meet a series of contractual milestones. No money will be paid to the company for provision of ferry services unless those services are provided.
