| The Chairman of Comhairle
nan Eilean Siar’s Transportation Committee, Donald Manford,
said -
“The Scottish Executive has stated that the West Coast
Ferry tendering process was a requirement of European Union legislation.
Following the EU decision of 24 July this would appear to have
evaporated. It would also appear that there is no reason to continue
with the tendering exercise and I will, therefore, be seeking
immediate clarification from the Scottish Executive on this matter”.
