Ms Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what consultation has been carried out by British
Waterways on their latest review of mooring charges. [70150]
Mr. Meacher: British Waterways have advised that a national review of mooring rates was formally announced in December 2001,
following routine consultation meetings and exchanges with national user groups representing boating interests.
A number of national user groups wished to see the previous "matrix score" pricing system retained. Their views were carefully
considered, but BW took the view that the matrix did not allow sufficient flexibility for comparison to the private sector and
market demand.
All BW moorers were sent details of the increases and the policy underlying them in February. A minimum period of six weeks was
allowed for feedback. BW have held discussions with individual boaters and in some cases, have postponed the renewal of mooring
permits to allow additional time for consideration.
