Discussions about a London port expansion worth £1bn are ongoing as the government tries to resolve a row with the investor.
DP World planned to reveal the expansion of its London Gateway port, which it said would create hundreds of jobs, at the government’s investment summit next week.
However, reports suggested the plan was at risk after Transport Secretary Louise Haigh criticised P&O Ferries, which is part of DP World, for its treatment of staff.
Downing Street has now distanced itself from those comments as it tries to resolve the spat.
