Labour — Portsmouth North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 December 2024

Debate

Freight Crime

Contribution

On that note, at least 8,000 of my constituents in Portsmouth North work in freight and logistics, and it has been highlighted to me that freight crime has really discouraged female drivers from entering and remaining in the industry. The International Transport Workers’ Federation found that a lack of secure parking facilities is a factor that contributes to the lack of diversity in the sector. Does my hon. Friend agree that, as my hon. Friend the Member for Rugby (John Slinger) said, we should be looking into secure places for people to rest in between their shifts?
