Three days later, the same media outlet was informed in another call that the explosive device had been attached to a lorry belonging to a named haulage company. Clarke said that the second call outlined an intention that the device would explode at midnight on the night of Brexit. Asked about the intention that the lorry was to travel on a ferry, Clarke said: “The first call received on Friday indicated that the device would go on to the midnight ferry. There is no midnight ferry.”
