Written question asked by Lord Mason of Barnsley (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Wednesday, 15 March 2006.
Shipping: P&O Takeover
- Question
- Whether they have made an assessment of the possible impact on British ports and seaport terminals of the takeover of P&O by Dubai Ports World; and, if so, whether they will hold discussions with the parties concerned.
- Answer
-
The Office of Fair Trading announced on 3 February its assessment that it did not believe that the then anticipated acquisition of P&O by DP World would result in a significant reduction of competition in the relevant markets. With respect to other considerations, a change in ownership of a port or terminal does not affect the port authority’s responsibility to meet its obligations.
