P&O Ferries owner DP World reviews £1 billion worth of investment in the UK after Labour attacked...

A £1 billion investment in the UK by the owner of P&O ferries was last night in jeopardy after ministers attacked the firm's working practices.

It forced Downing Street to distance itself from Ms Haigh - with a source saying her remarks in an ITV interview were 'her own personal view and don't represent the views of the government', despite them echoing similar comments by herself and Deputy PM Angela Rayner in a press release issued the same day.

There have been suggestion that Downing Street had carpeted the Transport Secretary to protect Ms Rayner. 'Make no mistake, this is good for workers and good for business. Cowboy operators like P&O Ferries will no longer be able to act with impunity, undercutting good employers in the process.' The event is already mired in reports of disorganisation and claims that some bosses could withdraw at the last minute.

It would have meant an expansion adding to two new ship berths and a second rail terminal to the site in Essex making it the UK's largest port by volume.
