Ports

In its report on the Ports Regulation, published in September 2014, the European Scrutiny Committee of the United Kingdom House of Commons said the Government must schedule a debate on the floor of the House.

It is a measure which could have highly significant impacts on the companies and workers involved with the UK ports sector.
