HC Deb 18 December 1985 vol 89 c163W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what financial assistance he proposes for shipping services to the Scottish islands in 1986–87.

Mr. Younger

I propose to give deficit grants of £7.4 million to Caledonian MacBrayne and £1 million to Orkney Islands Shipping Company. I am pleased to note that because of the company's increased efficiency and good trading position, the grant to Caledonian MacBrayne reflects its estimated deficit, which is lower than the funding requirement in the present financial year. I propose to continue the present level of rebates on fares and charges for P and 0 and the various bulk shippers with whom I have undertakings, and will make provision for grants of £3.8 million to P and 0 and £1.4 million to bulk shippers.

Total revenue support next year will amount to £13.6 million.
