Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June 2020 to Question 55949 on P&O Ferries: Coronavirus, whether he has held discussions with representatives from P&O Ferries on the implication for seafarers in Hull of that company's proposals for (a) making redundant full-time Ratings on the Pride of Hull and (b) retaining agency crew from the Philippines to work on that vessel.
I have met with both P&O Ferries and the maritime unions to discuss P&O’s redundancy proposal. As P&O remains in the consultation phase its proposals have not been finalised.
