answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The recent delays at Felixstowe are a matter for the port to resolve. I understand that steps are being taken to rectify the problem and the situation is already improving.</p><p> </p><p>The delays do not impact on government’s market led port policy that sees a successful, competitive port sector. As such we continue to welcome the ongoing private sector investment at the Port of Felixstowe to enhance both its physical and digital infrastructure for the long term, whilst port development elsewhere means vessels were able to call at other suitable UK ports as needed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 25/06/2018 13:15:13 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
