We had replies to parliamentary questions about the passenger locator form to state that it was at a 70% rate of follow-up and is now only at 18%. There was a report in the media about an individual case which was probably an example of the type of thing that can happen when we do not have adequate controls and follow-up at our ports and airports.
With regard to the Estimates and Brexit contingency, specifically road haulage and the land bridge, what plans and contingencies are in place for road haulage? The Minister of State mentioned a public service obligation for a number of ferry routes. There has been a call from hauliers for a specific public service obligation for ferries directly to France. Is that being considered? Is there funding in the Estimates allocated for that?
