  Martin, you would need to read the writing:
  Decision Minister's letter
  December 20th 2012
  "He also concluded that in so far as the Board made the application in order to be able to obtain the additional finance necessary to undertake the proposed redevelopment of the Western Docks, there were other options available to secure that redevelopment."
  
  This is Kent:
  January 8th 2013
  "Earlier this month the Department of Transport said it was looking at tolling schemes to fund "new capacity" in limited circumstances."
  
  Looks more like my proposal was accepted.
  In particular considering that "new capacity" is related to road facilities.
  I pointed this out to the DfT in January 2013, that a new ferry terminal at Western Docks is a road facility.

  "This autumn George Osborne announced that a feasibility study would be carried out by the DfT to explore how new road-building projects could be funded."
  
  Unless anyone can prove otherwise, the Government accepted my proposal to fund Port expansion through tolling and so-by rejected the DHB privatisation bid.
  My belief is, only the Government - or competent Department thereof - could explain to me that this was not the case, and that tolling, as currently being considered by the DfT and the Chancellor, does not refer also to Western Docks.
  
  Only if the DfT informed me so themselves, would I believe it.
