The Order includes saving provisions for the Queen鈥檚 Harbour master and the Dockyard Port of Plymouth.
Full details of these powers can be viewed in the Order and the rationale behind the powers can be viewed in the accompanying statement in support.
The statutory 42-day public consultation on the HRO ran from 8 June 2021 to 19 July 2021.
