The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Richard Benyon)
I have had conversations with the Under-Secretary of State for Transport, my hon. Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mike Penning), about this. The consultation ends on 22 February. I can assure my hon. Friend that there is a real drive among Ministers, and also in the MMO, to see an early resolution to the matter following the end of the consultation.
Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)
