Embattled ferry operator P&O has said it will pay out £36.5m in compensation to workers who were fired last week
The release from P&O about its payouts was a clear attempt to regain control of the narrative after five days of atrocious press . The bigger figures were given prominence high up in the press release, the fact that 40 staff will receive over £100,000, for example, and the total value of the severance package, which is over £36m. Transparency over this is clearly advantageous to P&O.
The Chair of the Transport Committee, Huw Merriman MP, and the Chair of the BEIS Committee, Darren Jones MP, will lead MPs in a joint session which will examine what options are available to the government, and the 800 workers who have lost their jobs.
