HC Deb 11 June 1969 vol 784 cc253-4W
51. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what answer has been sent to representations made by Fair Isle for a three-days-a-week mail boat service during the summer.

Dr. Dickson Mabon

This is primarily a matter for Zetland County Council, who have informed me that they propose to provide up to 20 additional crossings this summer. I have agreed to these being taken into account in determining the grant I make to the Council towards the service.
