HC Deb 21 March 1979 vol 964 c654W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what stage has been reached in the consideration of a subsidy on freight to and from Orkney and Shetland; and when he expects a decision will be reached on this matter.

Mr. Millan

As I said in my reply of 5 March, I hope to put specific proposals to Orkney and Shetland Islands councils in the near future.—[Vol. 963, c.544.]
