    The government ignored warnings from highly paid consultants before handing a no-deal Brexit contract to a ferry company without any ships, it emerged yesterday. Consultants flagged up “significant execution risks” surrounding Seaborne Freight’s ability to provide ferry services but the Department for Transport pressed on with the £13.8 million deal.

    The consultants, who were paid £800,000 in taxpayers’ money, were unable to assess Seaborne’s finances formally because of a lack of information about the company. According to the National Audit Office (NAO), the DfT admitted that Seaborne represented a “high-risk proposition” before the award was made.
