To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when he will reply to the letter from Derf Paton of Ramley Road, Lymington on Wightlink and the Lymington River, dated 8 November 2009. (309956)

I have no record of a letter from Mr. Paton dated 8 November. I replied to Mr. Paton's latest letter dated 19 November on 14 December, however.
