DP World,P&O Ferries,Investment

Despite controversy surrounding calls from Labour MP Louise Haigh labeling P&O Ferries a 'cowboy operator', DP World, the parent company, has confirmed it will attend a major investment summit and proceed with its planned £1 billion investment in the UK.

DP World, the parent company of P&O Ferries, "will go ahead" with a £1bn investment despite a row over the Transport Secretary calling the operator a "cowboy". Labour MP Louise Haigh labelled P&O Ferries a "cowboy operator" in recent days, leading to the company pausing its plans to invest £1bn in its UK operation.

In an effort to contain the fallout, Downing Street distanced itself from Haigh's comments, with a source clarifying that her views did not represent the government's official position.This incident underscores the tensions between political criticism and business interests, especially in cases like P&O Ferries, which have faced public outrage over controversial business practices.
