answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2021 answer text <p>There has been a reduced flow of freight traffic at ports across the UK since the end of the Transition Period and imposition of tighter restrictions to tackle Covid-19, including at Welsh ports. However, traffic is expected to increase in the coming weeks.</p><p> </p><p>Welsh ports, and Holyhead in particular, will continue to be critical routes to and from the Republic of Ireland and continental Europe irrespective of direct links for haulage between Ireland and France. The <em>land bridge</em> route has significant advantages for hauliers over maritime routes and I am confident that Welsh ports will continue to thrive as we build on the opportunities provided by being an independent trading nation.</p> answering member constituency Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire answering member printed Simon Hart question first answered 13/01/2021 12:27:58 answering member 3944 label Biography information for Simon Hart
