Courts joined a session with the All Party Parliamentary Maritime and Ports Group (APPMPG) on Monday (8 March), during which the APPMPG reports he set out "a pathway to the domestic cruise market reopening on 17 May".
Following the meeting, the APPMPG tweeted: Maritime minister Robert Courts announces the reopening of the domestic cruise market in England on 17 May at tonight’s APPMPG meeting."
The group said Courts talked through repatriation procedures and risk mitigations and how they would interplay with Covid protocols and the UK’s vaccination programme.
