§ Mr. Barry FieldTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will set out those creeks and harbours outside of Portsmouth harbour for which Her Majesty's harbour master has administrative responsibility in the Solent; and if he will set out the policy reasons for the Royal Navy's administration of each of them.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThere are three creeks and harbours in this category: Hillhead harbour, Ryde 95W Harbour and Wootton creek. We are considering whether it remains appropriate for the Queen's harbour master to exercise waterspace management and administration in these areas.
