HC Deb 11 June 1969 vol 784 c253W
50. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will underwrite an extension of the North Isles air services in Orkney to include Fair Isle and Shetland.

Dr. Dickson Mahon

No. I am not satisfied of the need to subsidise such services, nor would I be prepared to assist a link service to Shetland in competition with B.E.A.
