I congratulate Andrew George for securing this debate and acknowledge the severe challenges facing residents in the Isles of Scilly. The Government is providing record levels of investment in transport, including £30 million for bus grants and over £4.5 million for active travel projects in Cornwall. Specific to the Isles of Scilly, we are supporting road maintenance with £291,000 and active travel initiatives with £140,000. We remain committed to delivering better, sustainable, and more affordable transport provision. Although all air and sea services operate commercially without public subsidy, I reassure that any at-risk routes would be assessed for intervention. I also acknowledge the fiscal pressures faced by the council and will reflect on offering further concessions. The UK emissions trading scheme does not apply to vessels below 5,000 gross tonnage, including those serving the Isles of Scilly. We continue engagement with the islands to address challenges.
