"As said in my previous post, for the Government to decide that the Port of Dover must be privatised, they'd have to change the Law."
No Alex. Under the Ports Act the government can a) order DHB to come up with a new proposal (s10) or b) come up with a scheme of its own (s12). Additionally the Public Bodies Act allows the Secretary of State the power to over-ride the Ports Act and deal with DHB as it wishes. So no new legislation is required, it's already in place.
