The Transport Committee will “Dragons’ Den-style” judge a series of pitches from transport experts who are vying to convince MPs to adopt their idea as the subject of the committee’s next inquiry. 

P&O Ferries will face questions from MPs on Thursday

It comes after the committee launched its Our Future Transport crowdsourcing appeal in January 2023, hoping to hear about new innovations and disruptive technologies that could change the transport sector.  

Over 220 applications were received from across the UK’s transport sector from academics, charities, operators, campaigners and members of the public. 

The cross-party committee has narrowed down its top 12 submissions, and applicants have been invited to pitch in-person to the committee to help MPs decide which ideas to take forward as the premise of a future inquiry.
