Transport minister calls P&O Ferries 'rogue operator' as law is tightened

The transport secretary has told ITV News she believes P&O Ferries is a "rogue operator" - revealing she has been boycotting them for years. ITV News Business Editor Joel Hills reports from Dover

Two and a half years ago, P&O caused controversy by sacking almost 800 British seafarers without warning and replacing them with cheaper, foreign agency crew. In opposition, Labour was outraged. In government, they are taking action.

In less than 100 days of this government, we have brought forward legislation that will mean P&O Ferries and the scandal that it brought to Britain will never happen again,” Transport Secretary Louise Haigh told ITV News.

From December 1, ferry operators that regularly call at UK ports at least 120 times a year will have to pay their seafarers at least the equivalent of the UK National Minimum Wage.
