Business secretary says company appears not to have followed the processes for large-scale layoffs
Business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng has warned P&O Ferries it could face an unlimited fine, if its summary sacking of 800 British staff is found to have breached the law, as protests against the layoffs took place at ports across the country.
Writing to the company on Friday, Kwarteng said he wanted to express, “in the strongest possible terms, the UK government’s anger and disappointment”.
