  42 day public consultation period. Submissions from stakeholders invited in the same way as in 2010. Hopefully there will be opportunity for the public to ask questions and some public meetings. It is up to all of us as stakeholders in the port to make the consultation a meaningful one and to ensure that any sale to remote private equity buyers does not get the go ahead.
  
  Dovorians have already made a huge difference to the way in which Trust Ports and their future is considered by government. It was clearly the strength of public opinion in favour of community ownership expressed through the referendum that led to the most important element for consideration becoming the community element.
  
  Alex, DHB told the Secretary of State that they would present a revised, enhanced and elaborated proposal for privatisation in light of the new criteria way back in October last year. They are in the Times and Lloyds List today saying that they will bring forward publication as soon as possible, BG told the times that it could come within a week, and Roger Mountford told the annual public meeting last night that they would publish in the very near future. DHB have a board meeting today I believe and will probably make the decision as to the actual date of publication at that meeting. So, there is no question, they will re-present a revised proposal.
