The Government seems to have many, many problems, and the last thing they'd want to do now is to start off with that again.
If you google Dover People's Port Trust you might find some information on the people's port, which is probably the best way to find answers to your questions.
Even the Forum lost track of what the P/p plc. are up to. I think the plug was pulled out of it, not that this helps you much further with your query though
