HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 c420W
Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the progress of the Manchester Ship Canal Harbour Revision Order 1990.

Mr. McLoughlin

I made this order on 26 February 1990. Because opponents of the order gave notice that they maintained their opposition, the order became subject to special parliamentary procedure and it was laid before Parliament on 18 April. Petitions against it have been referred to the Chairman of Committees and the Chairman of Ways and Means.
