To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he expects to reply to the letter of 15 October 2008, sent by Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott MEP, on the M.V. Coronia, Directive 98/18/EC and point 4.3 of the Merchant Shipping (Passenger Ships on Domestic Voyages) Regulations 2000. (244687)

I hope to write to Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott MEP addressing the issues he has put to the Secretary of State about the M.V. Coronia within the next few days.
