Written question asked by John Denham (Labour) on Wednesday, 7 March 2012, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 12 March 2012. It was answered by Mike Penning (Conservative) on Monday, 12 March 2012 on behalf of the Department for Transport.
Liverpool Port: Finance
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Transport pursuant to the answer of 1 March 2012, Official Report, column 451W, on Liverpool Port: finance, what assessment her Department has made of funding from the EU before removing its objection to turnaround operations at the City of Liverpool Cruise Terminal; and what assessment she has made of the effect of the lifting of this restriction on the level of competition in the ports sector.
- Answer
-
My Department has taken account of the existence of ERDF funding for the terminal, and of the fact that the local benefits, in respect of which this grant was awarded, would tend to be enhanced rather than reduced by the removal of the prohibition on turnaround. The effect on competition has been of primary concern throughout in considering the appropriate level of repayment, as it was the reason for the original prohibition.
