§ 19. Mr. Alasdair MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received on the EU Passenger Registration directive. [37633]
§ Mr. McLeishMy right hon. Friend has received no representations concerning the EU Passenger Registration Directive.
The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions has consulted widely with industry about the proposed Directive. It has set up a working group of shipping representatives which includes the Chamber of Shipping and the British Ports Association, to consider how the Directive should be implemented. Full consultation with affected parties will take place once the Directive has been adopted.
