Graeme Downie said it was 'disappointing' that the UK Treasury had only replied to his letter about a Rosyth-Dunkirk ferry link when he earned a House of Commons debate.
A Scottish Labour MP has blasted his own government for taking months to reply to him about a ferry route between Scotland and Europe. Graeme Downie said it was 'disappointing' that the UK Treasury had taken so long to reply to his letter about a Rosyth -Dunkirk ferry. The Dunfermline and Dollar MP had written to the Chancellor about the issue at the start of the October, but only received a reply shortly before his adjournment debate on Tuesday.
To that end, I have held several discussions with those co-ordinating these efforts, as well as with DFDS Ferries, which has said that it would like to bring the service back as soon as spring 2025, but between Rosyth and Dunkirk instead.' He continued: 'It could take as little as a £3 million investment in Rosyth to bring back a regular passenger and freight service between Scotland and mainland Europe, but time is of the essence if it is to be fully realised.
