There will also have been some costs incurred by Kent Police and Kent County Council associated with their staff attending the trial. These and other costs for, if necessary, using Manston to hold HGVs are considered appropriate against the very high economic and traffic congestion associated with closing the M20 if we could not use Manston.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 15/01/2019 16:42:26 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
