The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether the economic downturn may have resulted in more ferries being available worldwide that could have potential use on a Lochboisdale to Mallaig route.
The answer
The Scottish Government''s consideration of a standalone ferry service between Lochboisdale and Mallaig concluded on 5 December 2008 when officials wrote to Storas Uibhist to advise that we would consider the matter in the context of the Scottish Ferries Review.
We are considering the long-term future for ferry services for Barra and South Uist, however the review will cover all domestic ferry services in Scotland. The Scottish Ferry Review will determine a long-term strategy for ferry services in Scotland to 2022.
