Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to appoint an inspector to review the compliance of the current owners Bembridge Harbour, and their related companies, with (1) the Piers and Harbour Order (Bembridge Harbour) Confirmation Act 1963, and (2) the Department for Transport's Ports good governance guide.

The Secretary of State for Transport has no plans to appoint any inspector to consider matters relating to Bembridge Harbour. The Department has received correspondence from some stakeholders in respect of the harbour, which is receiving consideration and will be responded to in due course.
