House of Lords written question – answered at on 4 July 2002.
Lord Islwyn
Labour
asked Her Majesty's Government:
When they will make an announcement about the Wye Navigation Order.
Lord Whitty
Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
The Environment Agency has applied for an order under the Transport and Works Act 1992 making it the navigation authority for the river Wye. A public inquiry into the application was held in 1997, following which further detailed representations were made. After careful consideration we have decided to accept the inspector's recommendation and, with the agreement of the National Assembly for Wales, make the order. A copy of the decision letter has been placed in both Libraries of the House.
