The post you are reporting:
Neil. this has nothing to do with suing anyone.
It has uniquely to do with knowing whether DPPT's representations have been rejected, or accepted, by the Decision Minister.
The previous posts outline the official DfT stance on the DPPT. It clearly reads that the "People's Port", or any other representation from other participants in the Public Consultation, would be equally treated in determining the Minister's decision on the DHB bid.
If DPPT has any further on-going position with the Government relating to the Port of Dover AFTER the 22 December 2012, then where is the official proof of this? You have not shown any.
Has your representation been accepted, or rejected?
Jan has herself printed on the Forum that she would become a paid member of DPPT, so I only assume she is a supporter of your stance. No problem with that.
Paul seems to confuse the Department for Transport with Google, but that does not surprise me either!
As I've posted already tonight, Neil, my request is already at the DfT to inquire whether DHB can put up another privatisation bid.
This needs sorting out officially. The reason being, our Community cannot go on being told that our Port will be or can be privatised whenever DHB so decide to put in another bid.
This is contrary to our local prosperity, contrary to regeneration, and damaging to our economic future.
The DfT will have to give an official reply to this question.
I'm simply trying to sort out through official clarifications from the competent Gov. Offices all the never-ending rumours that are flying around even after the 22 December.
And I will inform you of the DfT's official position on the DPPT as of post-December 2012, as you have not given us this statement yourself.
To put it plainly, I just want to know the facts, ONE set of facts, and the official ones.
