    Hi Howard, I don't get intimations from Ministers of the Crown. The Government obviously intends to observe the law of the land and see the Ports Act process through to its conclusion.

    If the DHB proposal is turned down by the Minister, that will be the end of the Ports Act process and the Government will be free to use the powers that exist under the Public Bodies Act 2011 which explicitly contains a clause allowing the Secretary of State to make an order about the Dover Harbour Board requiring them to wrap up their activities and make a transfer to an approved body as directed under the provisions of that Act. This order will be subject to 24 weeks of Parliamentary scrutiny before being served as directed by Parliament.
