  1. According to the article it doesn’t actually say how much detail P&O actually told the Government not how much much in advance of the P&O announcement they were told.

    > A Department for Transport spokesperson said: “This was an internal government memo which, as standard practice, outlined what officials had been told by P&O Ferries shortly before their announcement was made. This was sent before ministers were advised of the full details. As soon as they were informed, they made clear their outrage at the way in which P&O staff had been dismissed.”
