- Question
- Whether they consider that each United Kingdom port has a sufficient number of pilots for its safe operation; and, if not, whether they are satisfied by the action being taken by the relevant harbour authority to rectify the situation; and why the United Kingdom exemption from compulsory pilotage rules is less stringent than the exemptions of other European countries; and whether they propose to review the situation; and whether, in progressing towards risk analysis in the marine environment, they will require competent harbour authorities to consult with their pilots; and whether they will review the process whereby competent harbour authorities obtain revision orders under the Pilotage Act 1987 so as to ensure that all relevant parties and experts are consulted. - Includes ref to 581 c111-2WA.
