Port of Southampton

Proceeding contribution from John Denham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Port of Southampton.
We are perfectly clear that Liverpool is utterly entitled to have a cruise terminal. The question is whether, given that the one operating successfully in Southampton has been developed entirely with private sector finance, the one in Liverpool should not operate according to the same principles of fair competition. We are more than happy to have that discussion, but I do not want to spend my time this morning getting too far into that issue, because we are in the last critical weeks that will determine whether this investment in Southampton takes place in the autumn. I want to focus on that.
