HC Deb 27 March 1973 vol 853 c305W
Mr. Donald Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what schemes have been submitted to him for the provision of a ferry between Vatersay and Barra; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Primary responsibility for proposals for serving Vatersay lies with Inverness County Council. I understand it has a scheme under consideration for supplementing or replacing the existing small passenger ferry, but that it is not ready for submission to me.
