Name Of New Ferry For Islay (EDM2251)

Name Of New Ferry For Islay

EDM number 2251 in 2008-09, proposed by Alan Reid on 09/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Shipping.

That this House, whilst welcoming the decision by Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) to hold a ballot on the name of the new ferry which is currently being built to serve Islay, notes the wishes of many islanders that, in line with the longstanding Caledonian MacBrayne tradition of naming a ferry after the island it was built to service, the ferry should be named the `Isle of Islay' in English and `Eilean Ile' in Gaelic; and calls on CMAL to add this option to its ballot.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
