• The post you are reporting:
   
  The last reply I received from the Department for Transport includes the following phrase:
  
  "The issues you raise along with all relevant representations received by the Secretary of State will be fully taken into account when any decision is made on the proposal by Dover Harbour Board for a transfer scheme.
  The sale of the port will go ahead only if the transfer scheme is agreed."
  
  It is dated 15th November.
  
  With this, we should take into account that DPPT is not the only alternative to the DHB privatisation proposal, we have it officially. All my replies from the Department for Transport are available for view in photo-copy form should the request arise, the originals consigned to a place "somewhere in England".
  
  I am not sure at the moment which representations are not relevant, but mine certainly is.
  I understand DPPT did not exist until August 2010,
  
  The first reply sent to me on 9 March 2010 included the following phrase:
  "Your comments have been noted and will be included among the representations taken into account when the Secretary of State considers whether, or not, to approve the scheme. "
  That was before August 2010.
  
  Perhaps, Keith, you should write to the Department for Transport for clarification, as there are conflicting views on the Forum whose representations are relevant and whose are not.
