First Minister’s Question Time
Ferry Services (South Uist and Barra)
Grant, Rhoda Lab Highlands and Islands Watch on SPTV

It feels a little like groundhog day. South Uist and Barra face yet another chaotic holiday period. South Uist faces an 85 per cent cut in its ferry service during the Easter period. The First Minister knows that this community has suffered from cuts for years, and that has caused businesses to struggle. The community was instrumental in getting the Scottish Government to provide compensation, but what it really wants is to run its businesses successfully and, to do so, it needs a reliable ferry service.

Will the First Minister intervene and ensure that those islands do not suffer another dismal holiday period?
