    Alexander, if you have read a decision date for the port then it certainly was not on the DPPT website and DPPT have not publicly indicated any date or month for a decision. I have certainly said that I hope for one soon, but then so does everyone. The only public date indication has been via Mr Elphicke on Newsnight in early October when he indicated that the Government would demonstrate its commitment to community ownership via its decision on the port of Dover within a month. Previously timetable indications were also given by our MP as being within the next few months (in August) and within the next month or so (in September). The only time that he did not preface what he said with the words "I hope for a decision ...." was on Newsnight in early October.

    You should note that not only Paul W states that there is no clear timetable.

    You may search high and low, but the only public indications for when a decision might be made have come from our MP and they have all come within recent months and pointed to sometime around the very end of October- beginning of November.

    DPPT has been keeping in touch with the DfT regularly, but, as I stated in #425, most recent answers are that the papers are with the Minister.
