HC Deb 24 November 1971 vol 826 c378W
104. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what further steps he is taking to improve communications between the mainland of Scotland and her off-shore islands.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

My responsibility is confined to sea transport services operated by subsidiaries of the Scottish Transport Group and by private operators subsidised by the Government. With the assistance of substantial Government grants for terminals, modern roll on-roll off services are being progressively introduced, to the benefit of the island communities.
