HC Deb 11 November 1981 vol 12 c97W
16. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has reached a conclusion on the form of assistance to be offered to island communities over freight costs and transport.

Mr. Younger

Since making my statement on sea transport to the Scottish islands on 28 July I have received further views from interested parties. I am now considering these and will make a further statement as soon as possible.
