The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what advantages there are in a road equivalent tariff scheme for transport costs to and from island communities.

A road equivalent tariff schemewould generate significant additional subsidy costs, which could be funded onlyby displacing high-priority transport projects. We have no current plans to introduceferry fares based on road equivalent tariffs.
