    But DPPT doesn't own or run the Port, Neil, so the DfT won't get involved with its managers.

    I suppose we'll have to see if Nigel Farage will make the people's port part of his campaign.
    But if he ever managed to reach Government, he'd first have to change a lot of standing regulations in order for the Port to be sold to a private entity.
