Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the attitudes of the residents of the Isles of Scilly on their transport links with Cornwall.

This Government wants everyone to have access to transport provision no matter where they live. That is why we value the opinions of people living on the Isles of Scilly and recognise the difficulties they face as an island community. My officials remain in regular contact with the Isles of Scilly Council and other Government departments to discuss and address these challenges.
