Debate: Finance - 6 December 2017
Channel: The Scottish Parliament
Date: 2017-12-06

Liam McArthur: Finance—That the Parliament notes the commitment from the
Scottish Government to “the principle of fair-funding in the provision of ferries and ferry
infrastructure” and the statement from the former transport minister and now finance secretary,
Derek Mackay MSP, that “the provision of transport services should not place a disproportionate
financial burden on any council, particularly with reference to revenue support for ferry services”,
and therefore calls on the Scottish Government to set out to the Parliament how it intends to
honour these commitments in relation to Orkney and Shetland internal ferry services.
