To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans she has to provide further financial support for ferry services between (a) Campbell town and Ballycastle and (b) Rosyth and Zeebrugge. [90390]

Decisions on financial support for the Campbeltown to Ballycastle ferry service are a matter for the Scottish Executive. I have no plans to provide financial support for the Rosyth-Zeebrugge ferry service. The Scottish Executive provided funding by means of a Freight Facilities Grant to the port operator, Forth Ports plc, for improvements to the port infrastructure at Rosyth.
