Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government which new freight transport routes across the English Channel between the UK and the EU are being considered as part of the contingency planning for a no-deal Brexit.

The routes agreed for increased freight capacity with DFDS and with Brittany Ferries will run from the Ports of Immingham and Felixstowe (DFDS) and Poole, Plymouth and Portsmouth (Brittany) to destinations in Germany (Cuxhaven), the Netherlands (Vlaardingen) and France (Caen, Cherbourg, Le Havre, and Roscoff). The route agreed with Seaborne Freight is between Ramsgate and Ostend in Belgium.
