Sky News earlier revealed that the planned investment was under review and that Dubai-owned DP World's chairman, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, had cancelled plans to attend a London investment summit following criticism by government minister Louise Haigh.

A £1bn investment in Britain by port operator DP World will go ahead as planned, after a frantic effort by ministers and diplomats to repair relations following a row with the Dubai-owned multinational that threatened to overshadow a crucial investment summit.

DP World has told Sky News that Mr bin Sulayem will attend the event in London and it is understood the investment will be confirmed as planned, before a row with ministers threw the flagship announcement into doubt. A DP World spokesperson told Sky News: 'Following constructive and positive discussions with the government, we have been given the clarity we need. We look forward to participating in Monday's International Investment Summit.
