§ Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proposals he has for the improvement of the air ambulance to Scottish Islands.
§ Mr. RossWhen the experimental air service is introduced this summer between Kirkwall and the North Isles of Orkney, it is hoped to introduce also an air ambulance service using the same airstrips. It is also intended to provide an air ambulance service, by agreement with a private airline company, between Renfrew, Oban and certain airstrips in Argyllshire not already served by British European Airways. This will include a service to the Isle of Oronsay (including Colonsay) and Mull. The service will be extended to other islands off the west coast when suitable airstrips are available.
