P&O's millionaire boss Peter Hebblethwaite has admitted that the company 'chose' to break the law. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said that the ferry boss should quit 'right now' after MP disaster.
He told MPs that the company should have consulted unions before laying off 800 staff without notice. Union bosses have accused P&O Ferries of binning the personal belongings of sacked workers. Boris Johnson has threatened to criminally prosecute the firm and impose potentially unlimited fines
