Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what timeframe is in place for the award of contracts under the procurement framework for Brexit freight capacity after 31 October 2019 published by his Department on 20 September 2019.
My Department remains on track to secure freight capacity for use after 31 October. This follows the announcement on Friday 20 September that my Department has successfully procured the Freight Capacity Framework, and launched the mini-competitions to provide freight capacity as part of EU Exit preparedness.
