(asked on 6th January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the effect of vessel (a) speed and (b) frequency on the tidal River Thames on public safety; and what plans he has for (i) a new navigation system and (ii) regulation and monitoring of vessel speed on that river.
This question was answered on 14th January 2020
The Port of London Authority (PLA) is the navigation authority for the tidal Thames. Vessel speed and frequency do not fall under the remit of the Department for Transport therefore no such assessments have been made.
