Labour — Swindon South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 September 2025

Debate

Transport: Economic Growth

Contribution

My hon. Friend will know that ferry services run on a private sector basis to meet local demand, and funding for local ferry services is a matter for local partners, including Thurrock council and Kent county council. However, my officials are working with them to ensure that the public transport opportunities that the lower Thames crossing may create are exploited.
