§ Mrs. Fennerasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will ensure that the Pilotage Commission consults shipping representatives from Rochester and Chatham, who object to the London pilotage district draft byelaws, before a decision is made on the byelaws.
§ Mr. TebbitI have asked the commission for its advice on these byelaws and I understand that it intends to take evidence from all the parties who have entered objections to the proposals. It is for the commission to decide how to conduct its proceedings, but I have drawn its attention to my hon. Friend's question.
