The former minister of transport - Chris Grayling - is suspected of agreeing a prior contract with Hutchison Port Holdings against the "Ministerial Code" paying him £100,000 a year while still a minister.

The £100,000 a year payment to Chris Grayling kicked in exactly a year after he left the Ministry to technically comply with govt. code.

The payment is nominally for just 7 hours a week "work",
Apart from his stint at the Ministry, Grayling has no transport experience.

The huge payments of almost £40 million to Harwich & Felixstowe for "Brexit support" dwarfed the payments to most other ports including Dover.

The common link between the Harwich & Felixstowe is they are both owned by...Hutchison Port Holdings.
