    Que? Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Shapps... said he wanted to see British ports refusing access to ferry companies "who don't pay a fair wage, as soon as [is] practical".

    The government will consult on the changes needed to make it a legal requirement, he added, but urged ports to take action "as soon as practical". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60929670

    However, responding to the announcement, the boss of the British Ports Association, Richard Ballantyne, said: "While it's right the government and the ferry industry look to improve employment rules and standards, the expectation that port authorities will need to enforce minimum wage rules in the shipping sector could be unworkable.

    "This will place ports in a difficult legal predicament, especially before any legislation is in place." Quite!
