§ The Earl of Mar and Kellieasked Her Majesty's Government:
How much public and private money has been invested in roll-on, roll-off docking facilities at Ballycastle and Campbeltown.
The Earl of LindsayThe provision of harbour facilities at Ballycastle and Campbeltown is the responsibility of Moyle District Council and Argyll and the Islands Enterprise as the sponsoring bodies of the proposed Ballycastle—Campbeltown ferry service. A limited amount of public money has already been spent on feasibility studies and design work for the harbour82WA facilities at Ballycastle and Campbeltown in connection with the proposed roll-on, roll-off ferry service between these two harbours. If the project proceeds, the estimated cost of harbour works associated with the service at Ballycastle would be some £1.7 million and at Campbeltown some £2.8 million. No private sector investment in these harbour works is expected.
