DP World will attend the Government’s international investment summit on Monday despite reports that a row over calls to boycott its subsidiary P&O Ferries had put a £1 billion investment at risk. Dubai-based DP World was reported to have pulled out of the summit and put plans to announce a major investment in the UK under review after Transport Secretary Louise Haigh’s scathing criticism of P&O. The Department of Business and Trade confirmed on Saturday that DP World will attend the summit. DP World has been contacted for comment. “And I think the Prime Minister was expressing that confidence in the way in which DP World is going to run their shop,” Mr Byrne said.
