Appearing on Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips, Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds was asked how close the government came to losing the £1bn commitment in the London Gateway port.

The minister was also questioned about why Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk was not going to be present at the government's investment summit.
