Lord West of Spithead Excerpts

Monday 18th September 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord West of Spithead (Lab)]

My Lords, the Minister will be aware that this has had a considerable impact on river traffic at various times, and that it has been very constrained. When the repair work finally starts—goodness knows when it will be—will the Government bear in mind the impact on not just the tourist-trade craft but also the craft carrying rubbish and that sort of thing up and down the river?

[Lord Davies of Gower (Con)]

The noble Lord is absolutely right, and the Port of London Authority is very involved in the decision-making process.
