Question Time
Air Services (Glasgow to Barra)
SCOTTISH EXECUTIVE

Will he take the opportunity of the additional two-year review to guarantee that the Scottish transport appraisal guidance will be met in full before any ultimate decision is taken? I asked him that yesterday and he refused to answer.
