Labour response to Grant Shapps meeting with P&O

Louise Haigh MP, Labour’s Shadow Transport Secretary, responding to minutes published by the Department for Transport on a meeting between the parent company of P&O Ferries and Grant Shapps, said:

“Despite the clear warning signs, Grant Shapps didn’t appear to raise a single word of concern for the workforce when he had the chance.

“Throughout this scandal, every window of opportunity to save jobs had been missed and hundreds of British workers are paying the price.”
