§ Mr. Malcolm MacMillanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made with the proposal and plans to provide a vehicle ferry service between Berneray Island and the Isle of North Uist.
§ Mr. RossI have so far received no detailed proposals for this service, but I understand that a report by marine consultants on the designs of suitable ferries to serve a number of islands including Berneray is being studied by MacBraynes. The County Council have included the construction of landing facilities in their forward programme for piers.
