The UK Government has terminated a “one-of-a-kind” agreement with P&O Ferries in response to the firm’s “unacceptable” sacking of nearly 800 seafarers without notice.

The British Home Office announced on Monday evening that the P&O arrangement with the Border Force agency would come to an end with “immediate effect”.
