This government has repeatedly called for P&O Ferries to repay its furlough funding, and we have emphasised this at every opportunity. Given we have made our position clear, it is now for P&O Ferries to repay the furlough funds and to reverse its outrageous decision to dismiss 800 loyal and hardworking staff if it intends to win back public trust, and the trust of government.
