Department for Transport written question – answered at on 5 March 2019.
Karl Turner
Shadow Minister (Transport)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which ports with waste reception facilities are compliant with the International Maritime Organisation’s mandatory guidelines on exhaust gas cleaning systems; and when each of those ports was last inspected for compliance.
Nusrat Ghani
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport), Assistant Whip (HM Treasury)
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) conducts inspections of UK ports against the approved Port Waste Management Plans held by them. These plans include the handling of exhaust gas cleaning residues. The inspections are conducted independently on each port, and the MCA has not observed a need to generate statistical information covering the entirety of UK ports.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
