Downing Street has warned PandO Ferries that there could be "ramifications" over its decision to sack some 800 seafarers. The Prime Minister's official spokesman said the UK Government was looking to see if the company's actions broke the relevant rules.
"We are looking very closely at the actions that this company has taken to see whether they acted within the rules," the spokesman said.
"Once we have concluded that, we will decide what the ramifications are. Obviously there are a lot of valid questions in relation to existing contracts, etc.
