[Transport Secretary Louise Haigh
delivered some stinging remarks this
week about P&O Ferries,
after it emerged that the company had
let go hundreds of agency staff it hired
in a cost-cutting bid following
mass lay-offs two years ago.
But Haigh’s ill-advised commentary has
sparked tensions between the government
and DP World, of which P&O Ferries is
a subsidiary – with the organisation
now planning to boycott an investment
summit next week.

More than that, DP World chairman
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem was due to
announce a £1bn investment plan for
the London Gateway container port – which now
, thanks to the row, will not take place.
What a mess.]
