HC Deb 17 December 1992 vol 216 c456W
Mr. Macdonald

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the loss to Caledonian MacBrayne's annual revenues of the scheduled end to the Kyle to Kyleakin ferry.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. Friend does not consider it justified to require Caledonian MacBrayne to make public commercially sensitive information about revenues, operating surpluses and deficits incurred on individual routes. The company's annual report and accounts for 1991, which were presented to Parliament on 27 May 1992, and are available in the Library, identified the operating deficits and surpluses realised by the company in respect of groups of services defined by area of operation.
