Transport: Isles of Scilly
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help ensure the affordability of essential transport services to the Isles of Scilly.
Answered by Keir Mather
Air and sea services to and from the islands are commercially operated without public subsidy. The department recently awarded £750,000 through our Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition Fund towards a feasibility study, exploring whether new low-carbon technology provides a viable solution for a future passenger service to the Isles of Scilly from the mainland.
