All members are inviting the Minister to visit their constituencies so I had better thank him for visiting our constituency and committing to extra money for our greenway earlier in the summer. We look forward to him coming back with the cheque. There has been a notable reduction in the number of inspections of licences relating to port facilities since last year, both in terms of the output target and the return, with a drop from 50 to two.
The biggest thing in the maritime area at present is the transfer of ports to the respective local authorities. How is legislation to give effect to that progressing? What progress has been made and when will it be completed?
