Harbours, Docks and Piers Clauses Act
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans her Department has to (a) review and (b) update the Harbour, Docks and Piers Clauses Act 1847.
Answered by Keir Mather
At present there are no plans to review or update the Harbour, Docks and Piers Clauses Act 1847. Whilst the Department for Transport continues to ensure that the UK’s maritime legislation is fit for purpose, there has been no pressing need identified to warrant parliamentary time to review this Act.
