<p>The settlement agreement secured the vital freight capacity that Government has
purchased from DFDS and Brittany Ferries, and therefore the unhindered supply of medicines
for our NHS, by removing a legal risk of the contracts with these companies being
declared ineffective by the Court. The agreement itself does not procure additional
freight capacity, nor was it ever intended to. Under the terms of the settlement agreement,
to ensure value for money, Eurotunnel has agreed that the entirety of the settlement
sum will be used on projects to improve security, traffic flow and infrastructure
resilience around the Channel tunnel site.</p><p> </p>
