Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what action he proposes to take following the instruction by the Crown Estate Commissioners to White Horse Ferries Ltd. immediately to stop operating the ferry service between Tilbury and Gravesend.

The arrangements for the continued operation of the ferry are matters for the bodies concerned.

Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when his Department first learnt of the instruction by the Crown Estate Commissioners to White Horse Ferries Ltd. immediately to stop operating the ferry service between Tilbury and Gravesend.

This is not a matter for my Department and we had no foreknowledge of the Crown Estate Commissioners' intentions.
