Ministry of Defence: Roll-on Roll-off Ships
(asked on 21st March 2019) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on using Point Class ferries to manage pressures at UK ports after the UK leaves the EU.
This question was answered on 26th March 2019
I have discussed this issue with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport (Chris Grayling). Any potential use of Defence's Point Class ferries would complement the £88.8 million worth of additional roll-on, roll-off ferry capacity that Government has secured to provide additional freight capacity in the event of the UK leaving the European Union without an agreement.
