The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding is available to restore and maintain trust ports.

Answered by Keir Mather

Trust ports are commercial entities and have a range of funding options in line with other commercial bodies. The department does not provide general funding for the port sector, but is supporting the National Wealth Fund which has committed £5.8bn to five priority sectors, including ports.
