HC Deb 10 April 1974 vol 872 c151W
29. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will assist the air services to the Islands of Orkney, in view of the recently announced 20 per cent. increase in fares.

Mr. Millan

My right hon. Friend is not at present convinced that there is a case for exempting the Orkney Islands from the recent general increase in domestic air fares, but he will naturally watch the position closely.
