Transport Secretary Louise Haigh said she had boycotted P&O Ferries in recent years and would encourage other people to do so.

The firm sacked hundreds of workers in one go in 2022 and replaced them with lower paid agency staff.

The company's parent company, DP World , has now suggested it will not attend the government’s flagship investment summit.
