HC Deb 15 March 2004 vol 419 c18W
Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many programmes have been undertaken to improve(a) harbours, (b) docks and (c) inland waterways since 1997. [160876]

Mr. Jamieson

This information is not available centrally. Harbour and navigation authorities are responsible for programmes of improvement in their areas and, although some harbour and dock projects require Government consent, there is no requirement for reporting of programmes.
