    Written Answers — Transport: Bridges: River Thames (21 May 2013)

    “In the last six months there have been no specific meetings to discuss East London river crossings. Departmental officials meet regularly with Transport for London representatives to discuss a range of policy and funding issues; some meetings have included brief discussion on the subject.”

    Written Answers — Transport: Polyisobutene (21 May 2013)

    “None. However officials at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency have had initial, informal discussions with the International Maritime Organization Secretariat on the classification of polyisobutene (PIB) following the recent incidents off the South Coast.”

    Written Answers — Transport: Polyisobutene (21 May 2013)

    “Officials at the Maritime and Coastguard Agency are analysing data that shows which vessels transited the area where it is estimated that the discharges could have taken place. That may help to determine the source of the pollution and allow further investigation to assess whether the discharge was permissible or whether there may be a case to take action against an unlawful discharge.”
